The reasons to leave as promoted by the Tory party and others on that side of the fence were countered by the reasons to remain as trumpeted by the remain camp. I recall that both side made equal noise with claim and counter-claim. Both sides bent and skewed the facts in their favor. Then there also some massive untrue claims made by both. It's was down to the voting public to process what they heard and vote accordingly. Blaming the Tory party for offering the county a chance to settle the matter after years of pressure building up for a referendum was a prudent move. The leave vote was a fag paper width in front of the remain vote. But 50% plus one vote is the winning line. The Tory really are not to blame for giving the public a chance to choose.</blockquote>
