They had no plan. It was quite deliberate - see:

Written in 2015 by Dominic Cummings, the brains behind the Leave campaign. He quite clearly articulates why the Leave campaign cannot have a plan in order to win the vote:
Quote:
3) Does NO need to have a unified plan for exit? A Government trying to leave the EU obviously needs an exit plan. The SNP needed an exit plan. But the NO campaign is neither a political party nor a government. It has no locus to negotiate a new deal. Does it need an exit plan, or does that simply provide an undefendable target and open an unwinnable debate for a non-government entity?
A. Creating an exit plan that makes sense and which all reasonable people could unite around seems an almost insuperable task. Eurosceptic groups have been divided for years about many of the basic policy and political questions.
B. Even if one succeeded, the sheer complexity of leaving would involve endless questions of detail that cannot be answered in such a plan even were it to be 20,000 pages long, and the longer it is the more errors are likely. On top of the extremely complex policy issues is a feedback loop – constructing such a plan depends partly on inherently uncertain assumptions about what is politically sellable in a referendum, making it even harder to rally support behind a plan.
C. There is much to be gained by swerving the whole issue.

Tusk is so right:

there is "special place in hell" for "those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan of how to carry it out safely"

Of course the truth would be unpalatable to some but at some point you need to face this truth.

As there was no plan, there is nothing vicarious about it. These people deliberately constructed the biggest con trick in history: redefine the entire economic & structural fabric of the country with no plan, based on a campaign of lies, rule breaking and deceit.
