The activities of Cummings and the various Mercer funded anti-EU campaigns were enough to swing the vote. Targeted ads deceived some voters that Turkish entry was imminent, while left-wing voters were assured that the result was 'in the bag' so their votes were unnecessary. The referendum was a sham
Yes, I met a Mail-reading woman at the press night of ENO's Jenufa revival, also referendum night, who said 'but what about the Turks?' She actually voted Remain because her children begged her, and I quite like her as a person. That was Boris's biggest lie.
Doesn't matter. People were told the government would honour the referendum. Place the blame where it correctly belongs, not on the fault of the LOTO who had nothing to do with any of it, having been elected barely a year prior
You’re right that the blame lies square with Cameron wanting to appease the wankiest elements of the Tory party, but to suggest the LOTO has nothing to do with it, when he (JC) gave the most feeble support for ‘remain’ is ridiculous.
I now distinctly remember JC passionately campaigning to remain in the EU, just as he did when he threw his weight behind supporting workers rights, the most vulnerable…
Grow up. His support for remain was perfunctory, at best.

Right now, the Democrats are being (rightly) hailed over the coals for not putting up more of a fight against Trump.
Opposition parties have a role to play. In the case of Brexit, JC was abysmal.
