If it was immaterial, why didn't Cameron say, as he could have done, thanks for the result in this advisory referendum, we'll consider it as part of government policy, instead of it being something the government said needed to be acted on? Why let it run for 2 years instead of nipping it in the bud?
Because there was already a contingency plan in place for May and her pals to step in, so Cameron made an immediate exit. Sweet dreams
