Can’t argue with that.

I actually think Cameron was very short sighted.
I think a big part of the leave vote winning was after Cameron went on his ‘European tour’ to try and improve our relationship with them and the EU gave him next to nothing.It showed that they are hard headed and care more about the EU brand than it’s member states as individuals.
It’s one size fits all approach doesn’t suit every country.The public saw this and it contributed to the UK’s negative image of the organisation.
Even most remainers start their sentences with “well the EU isn’t perfect but...”
This put remain at a disadvantage and a more astute prime minister could have forseen this.
