This is exactly my point - the proposed plans were published and subsequently rubbished by all and sundry. By being too clear in the campaign let the 'No' campaign in.

I think the EU Referendum Leave campaigners were deliberately more vague on future plans beyond 'freedom from the shackles of the EU' to avoid further scrutiny. It's smart and it worked
