    Why did he leave then straight away and dissappear from public life? He’s completely arrogant and only cares about power. Why didn’t he have a plan is it did go wrong? He’s grossly incompetent. Any half decent government should prepare plans for even unlikely situations if they are possible and would cause so much damage.

      To be fair, having a pro remain leader in charge of Brexit would have pissed of the Brexit crowd. Probably would have given a better outcome though.

        If he came out and said he will follow the will of the people and appoint a pro brexit person to lead a new dept and also lead negotiations, I think he could’ve got away with it. At least he could’ve seen through a transition to a new govt rather than just abandon it everything.

        Maybe he shouldn’t have pissed off the brexit crowd with those govt paid leaflets and the support he gave. He should’ve planned something for what would happen if the vote didn’t go his way. We could’ve at least figured out what type of brexit the country wanted as a binary yes - no was not enough.

        I see what you mean though, maybe it was just never possible and it was his only option. I just think he caused the most damage to this country ever and somehow is getting away with it with seemingly no consequences. No matter what, he is so linked to this situation in a negative way he should not be in politics anymore, either as a cabinet member or lord

      No matter what he wanted it probably would’ve gone worse for him to have remained. Can you imagine what the ERG would have attempted had he stayed? They only just about let May get in.

          Why not? Enough time has passed now that the aftermath, or at least the immediate aftermath, has all been handled.
