I mean Cameron did put it to a binding referendum with a simple majority. At least part of him was in support of leaving for him to do that.

- joncrocks 7y agoThe referendum was advisory/non-binding. https://fullfact.org/europe/was-eu-referendum-advisory/ https://fullfact.org/europe/was-eu-referendum-advisory/
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoNo, he 100% expected a comfortable remain win. He called the non-binding referendum because it was a major manifesto promise. It was a manifesto promise solely as an attempt to shut up the awkward squad -- the extreme Brexit wing of the Tory party, and put them back on the fringe for another decade or so. Then expected another hung parliament and probable coalition, not a majority. There are plenty of major Tory figures on record confirming this.
