It's nice to postulate that the PM and cabinet are some cabal of highly intelligent villains who decided it was simpler to just leave the EU than fix the NHS, but it doesn't line up with reality. Nobody expected the vote to go the way it did, not the guy who called it and especially not the guy who ran the leave campaign.

I and many others were not so surprised. The polls were wrong because privately many people are unhappy with the EU, and that wasn't reflected in public opinion polls.

If nothing else, the result showed a major disconnect between the policies of the main parties and the wishes of the electorate, and it will be good to have that democratic deficit rectified.

Nonsense, they had a big old battle bus.

Anybody with a battle bus clearly knows what they're doing.
