Leavers could not know what they were voting for - other than a slogan - because even their flag bearers,Gove,Johnson,Davis,...had no idea themselves but were driven by political ambition.
As is now abundantly clear.
But we are where we are and "could have,should have,might have,if only,..." is as futile as arguing about whether or not Britain should have engaged in the Great War - a not irrelevant reference point- so perhaps we should look at it all again in a hundred years when things will be clearer?
