Stuff like that is one of the reasons we're now in Brexit mode in the UK... I blame both sides for whatever is to come.

Because there has never been any corruption in UK politics?

Did I ever say that? Of course we have corruption in the UK. Like in any country in the wold.

What I said, and I said it as a staunch remainer, is that the EU has done nothing on their side to prevent the catastrophe we're facing now. They are to blame as much as people like Mr. Farage. They could have prevented this when Cameron went to them before the referendum to adjust the UK membership deal. All I said is that everyone is to blame for this.

Cameron actually got almost all of what he asked for in the membership deal. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35622105

As far as I can tell this was irrelevant to the result, and decades of fact-free Euroskepticism in the press won the day. Cameron also learned completely the wrong lessons from the Scottish Indyref.

Except they adjusted UK's membership. Then Cameron returned to the UK and won a referendum which he was supposed to lost.
