A couple of posts from the following twitter thread: https://twitter.com/OliverNorgrove/s...76277115891714

I'm no Remainer, I still dislike the EU and consider it to be undemocratic from top to bottom. I won't campaign for Remain. But I'm sick of being let down and embarrassed by all of this.
The UK had to, at some point, face up to this. But its political system just couldn't cope. We fought the referendum like a general election, we triggered A50 without a plan, we never understood how the EU operated nor that Brexit wasn't a standard negotiation.
It's been self-deception on an almighty scale. At one point I thought, naively, that I could stand as a better example for the Leave side, but I now realise that it's hopeless. I'm never asked for input, the media cares only for those on the extreme. A recipe for disaster.
Leaving the EU and becoming a "global Britain" might be the correct move but we had so much to improve about our own political system before "taking back control" wasn't going to be giving it to the wrong people (Boris Johnson or Chuka's path to number 10 or Jacob Ress Mogg making millions during the confusion) or leaving us in an almighty mess. We should have had a greater number of UKIP MPs in 2015 which may have pushed David Cameron into getting agreement for greater reforms in the EU and therefore Remain more palatable for majority, or maybe that people voting for UKIP wouldn't have been so disenfranchised with the democratic system and therefore wouldn't have used Brexit to kick the "political elite", or maybe UKIP blow up much sooner than they did in the end and people are put off their more extreme approach. While it might not have highlighted external interference in our democratic systems or illegal overspending, we could have then spent the last 3 years sorting out domestic problems instead.
