The govt don't appear that reluctant though do they? May was a remainer though you would never know now would you?
If anyone thinks this is due to the will of the people or a democratic process I think that's rubbish, personally I think as heard in farages monologue regarding his early days as an MEP this has been a long time coming from the centre right faction of both the labour and conservative camps.

It was arrogance, Cameron and Osborne didn't think they could lose.

For 30 years politicians had been avoiding letting public vote on anything EU related because they were afraid the public would vote against. I think so much time has passed without giving us any say that Cameron either forgot that or thought we'd just vote remain because we were so used to being in. He seriously miscalculated.
