it was a suggestion of what they thought should be done ... you'd be foolish to accept it as a promise You're giving the Leave campaign a free pass on a technicality of language. I don't believe the 51.9% of voters who saw an emotive slogan on the side of a bus and in a 1001 tabloid headlines assumed this was a gentle suggestion. They thought this might actually be done. The Leave campaign knew emphatically it would not, but pushed it anyway because many voters care about the NHS and it was an easy way to win their votes. I don't think it's unreasonable to hold a political organisation to account on their policy positions. To not do so condemns us to live in the kind of post-truth swamp we're seeing unravel on the other side of the pond.
