Public opinion has changed since that referendum because of everything that has happened since. The Tories conflated Brexit with a general election and pulled the wool over many people's eyes. Nevertheless, the pro-Brexit parties (Tory and Brexit) only got around 46% of the vote and then claim that they have a mandate for Brexit.
They have filled the Commons with hand-picked puppets who will not challenge them. They are already trying to take away worker’s rights. Why would anybody vote for that unless they were wealthy?
The right-wing press characterised Corbyn as a Marxist with their constant, nagging criticism. This became the normalised opinion. These were the people that talked about ‘project fear’. How ironic. His policies were arguably no more left-wing than many European social democracies.
The Tory party has banned all newTory MPs from talking to the media, and ministers refuse to be interview by the BBC. How can they be held to account for anything?
