Not hating gay people and abortion , I ' d imagine . Probably concern over climate change as well <| sep |> I agree . I don ' t think this is new at all . <| sep |> Great breakdown and follow up ! <| sep |> Something like that may well work out but this wasn ' t the conspiracy . The plan was simpler and more venial . Remain was sure to win , so Boris Cameron and co puled out the stops for a close result most significantly by depriving expats of the vote . When the vote was a narrow remain they planned to strong arm the EU into a deal that benefited their friends and financial backers . Unfortunately polling doesn ' t work well anymore and labour didn ' t get the vote out as the were expected to do , and so we had the result we did . Anything from there on was just a cock up . We can be sure of this because of the way government collapsed for a few days post referendum . Even of it was a conspiracy as you suggest it was a stupid one because it assumes that the elites in 27 other countries will have an incentive to play ball with the brexiters
