That’s a complete rewrite of history I’m afraid.
The leave campaign didn’t specifically say that a leave vote would mean an exit from the Customs union or the Single market.
Nor did the Govt pamphlet definitively say that either.
It makes me laugh that the £350m NHS lie was defended so vehemently by Leavers partly on the basis that they had no authority to promise anything as they were merely a campaign group.....but now they want to completely reverse that argument and say that everyone knew that a leave vote definitively meant exiting the CU and SM.
Only it didn’t. As even the Leave campaign brochure made mention of Switzerland as being an example of a country who weren’t part of the EU, which way should have I voted in the Yes / No Referendum if I agreed with them that Switzerland was a great model to follow?
