They did not do this because, as some imply, the majority of them were callow and ill-informed about the issues at stake. They do not now need former high office holders to badger and lecture them about the error of their ways.'
One could also describe this as 'opinion' and possibly incorrect, according to the law:
'The European Union Referendum Act 2015 – the law that allowed the referendum to take place – didn't specify what would happen in the event of a vote to leave. ... It said “because of the sovereignty of Parliament, referendums cannot be legally binding in the UK, and are therefore advisory”'
Further, all British will be paying the price for PM Cameron's careless gamble (with constraints on British Remain supporters in Europe etc.) which, according to Sir Craig Oliver, became a 'right wing coup', and now an actual Brexit potentially leading to break up of the UK to satisfy English 'collective narcissism'.
Very curious how supposed 'Remain' supporters are now pushing for 'Leave' and global trade i.e. US radical right libertarian vassalage? Clever double speak/think of Leave campaign claiming to be anti globalist and anti neo liberal?
