re: #107 Targetpractice

See, in the minds of the Tories, this is how things were supposed to go:

- Conservative Party wins a majority by promising a referendum on Brexit, undercutting UKIP’s popularity and drawing in their voters to shore up the Tory far-right.

- The referendum is held, with everybody expecting low turnout and a “Leave” vote in the lower double digits (if that), leaving Farange with egg of his face and the Brexit crowd looking like a vocal but tiny minority of voters.

- Cameron goes out and promises the Leavers that while the referendum failed, he would be pursuing a harsher line with the EU about immigration policies, with the threat that if the UK didn’t get more favorable policies then they’d hold another referendum.

- UKIP would have been slowly folded into the Conservative Party as the latter took up the former’s call for Brexit but in a more “moderate” fashion.

Cameron was totally too clever by half and that was what totally fucked him and the Tories.

Add to that you got Labour on a truly far left path and Corbyn.
