They should have required the non-binding referendum to actually be non-binding, especially considering how vague the question and answers were and how few people participated.

It's a long string of Tory failures that they enacted pretty much only so they could keep their hands on power.

Cameron > made the referendum part of the 2015 manifesto to stop UKIP splitting the Tory vote.

May > enacted Article 50 to stop the totally-not-UKIP/disaster capitalists from paralysing the party

Johnson > made 'oven ready shit ~~biscuit~~ Brexit' part of the 2019 manifesto so he could whip his party of YesMen into doing whatever the fuck he liked.

Makes me so so angry.
