It's not that the remain/leave campaign were disasters. The remain campaign was at least as bad and disreputable as the leave campaign. The leave campaign was far less bad than the remain one.
It's that the majority of people who voted in the referendum (ie the those of us who voted to leave) are sick and tired of being forced into an organisation different to one we signed up for. ie, a United States of Europe, rather than a trading community. We took the opportunity of rejecting our membership when we had a chance. I am sure we were surprised to win. I believe we would win by even more if we voted again, but I hope to god we don't have to vote again, because a neverendum is not the way to do it.
If repeated voting is the way to do it, then why don't Parliament have another go at the 4 vote majority against leaving with a no-deal, until they get it right. That's a far smaller majority than the leave vote.
Those of us who are a bit older will never forget Mr Steven Thoburn who was (sorry, I don't like cursing) fucking hounded and prosecuted by our government for daring to sell bananas by the pound weight. We still have the pound weight. We buy half a pound of butter. It's just that it's called 227gm now. We also remember the destruction of our fishing communities by rapacious French and Spanish fleets. We remember the loss of our British jobs for British workers to anybody and evertybody other than the British. It's all part of why many of us long to leave this evil community.
And I said again and again, that if our elite leaders really thought we belonged IN the EU, Blair and Brown would have persuaded us that we needed to adopt the Euro, and forced it through when they had their massive majority.
Why have we so little confidence in our own capabilities that we need to prostrate ourselves before the EU.
