To be honest, given that May was a remainer in the first place, I reckon she's trying to fuck it up so much that it can't actually go ahead.
The whole thing is a farce. Cameron only promised the referendum to keep his Tory-sceptic MPs from abandoning him at the election, and no-one thought it would ever actually go to leave vote.

Half arsed campaigns where no-one, not even the government, had a real clue of exactly what the ramifications would be. If the government didn't have a clue or plan, the the public certainly couldn't have done. It just seemed to be about MPs trying to score political points, whilst quite clearly not giving the slightest fuck about the country and the population. Especially that asshat Farage. He is a contemptible piece of shit.

Although there was a degree of bigoted, racist gammons voting leave because they are fucking arseholes, I don't think that represents the majority of leave voters. I just think people didn't really understand. I'm not saying I did, but leaving just seemed like the wrong thing to do.

I found asking a remainer why we should stay was usually responded to by a raft of reasons. I couldn't get one person who said we should vote leave give me any kind of reasoned argument. "Coz we should". "It'll be better". Just fucking non-sensical bullshit.

It's a total mess that could and should have been avoided.
