Perhaps those voters wanted to leave the EU.. The dismissal of their wishes as stupid is one of the reasons why labour has alienated its core voters

seems to fly in the face of the facts.

So Labour should have lied to them?

I didn't say they were stupid. I said I didn't think there was a majority to leave at any point. DC harnessed the mass discontent with politics in the public and got them believing a vote for leave was a protest against the establishment which was enough to get a narrow majority.
And from there on in he's played a good game of grinding the nation down to the point of exasperation whilst the undeliverable was not delivered. So that now the soundbites of getting it done have resonated and leave and remainers alike have bought in to the only clear message in the campaign as their way out of the mess. The mess they created.

I thought exactly that. Considering the actual number of people who genuinely wanted to leave the EU has never been a majority in this country then he's played a very clever long game and has managed to completely dupe a nation. His contribution to the worsening shit show that our populous has suffered and will continue to suffer should never be allowed to be forgotten.
