He was woefully complacent about it though. The Leave campaign was much better than that of Remain’s, largely because it had the right wing Murdoch and Rothermere press backing it.
And Boris of course saw an opportunity for himself and swayed the vote. And his ERG cronies helped him.
The Tories allowed their own party, and their own moderate centre to be completely overwhelmed by the right.
Even once the vote in favour of Leave became known, no one really knew what “flavour” of Brexit we would have.
Tories could have led the way in voting to stay in the single market but Theresa May ruled that out as a possibility, and she made the disastrous decision to call an election, which opened the gates for Boris to become PM and take the party even further to the right and in to the hands of the ERG.
And do you remember as an aside that this then ultimately allowed Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng to lose an estimated £30 billion from our economy and no one ever mentions it again?
Maybe Sunak has pulled it back a little but he was never a Brexit supporter. He voted to Leave and has almost always voted for pro-Brexit policies.
So yes I think we have very good cause to blame the Tories for Brexit - who else is there to blame - and the parlous state that the UK is in atm. And I for one shall never forgive them for it.
Even if Cameron had had the wit to insist that there needed to be a majority vote to leave or remain within Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England individually, in order to determine the referendum vote, we could have avoided this current shit show.
