howso?
He didn't really believe in the campaign, right? But he campaigned for it. It's not something the poor sods who had the actual job of convincing the leavers could have really worked with.
by not being prepared to appease reductionist racist arseholes? well ok, i guess.
I don't think he needed to do that - to succeed here, he needed to:
- have conviction
- be seen to be doing everything in his power to campaign for it. He might for example have had to have shared a platform with Cameron, which I understand might have been damaging for Labour, but it's possibly less damaging than the shitstorm they have now.
I suspect he's just as surprised (and fucked) by this as Johnson, Gove, Cameron, and well, us.
- have conviction
