I think David Cameron doubted two things: 1) That he would win a majority so that the Liberal Democrats would not be able to prevent the referendum taking place. 2) Having been stuck with the referendum, he didn't think he'd lose it. Some great inside reads coming out in time for Christmas on how the out campaigns won including infiltrating Ukip to make it more moderate.
But as far as Parliament was concerned before the referendum, the matter was decided ie the status quo of remaining. And polls seemed to reflect this so why should MPs act differently?
