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
Cummings is quite right, which is precisely why it’s bananas to condemn the Leave campaign for not having a plan. It was never their job to have a plan. It was actually David Cameron’s - his government called the referendum and should have been prepared for all possible outcomes. There were only two possible outcomes after all.

Tusk is so right:
No he isn’t. It isn’t the job of any senior foreign politician to make moral judgments about the democratic campaigns and votes held within sovereign, democratic nation states. That he has done so, and quite deliberately, speaks volumes about the Messiah complex that plagues the EU’s institutions and is one of the many reasons why Leave was the best outcome for country’s long term prosperity.

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.
You are of course at liberty to continue to tell yourself that Leave voters were all deluded, conned, duped or whatever. Ultimately that will only feed into your own sense of national identity and make you feel miserable. It’s your problem. But should you ever feel like rejoining reality, you would be most welcome.
