    But that's the point, will it? There are way enough people out there who honestly believe any negative consequences of Brexit are either just the EU's fault, or the remainers' fault for 'sabotaging the process' or whatever.

    Additionally: as Labour is not positioning itself as the anti-Brexit party, that alone will most likely save the Tories.
