Remain Supporter Recants.
Neil Ferguson appears to have woken up, how long before more start to rub the sleep from their eyes?
"I have had a kind of awakening. Brexit woke me up and reminded me I needed to pay attention to what the non elite majority of voters were thinking. If those of us who were part of the elite spent more time in pubs in provincial England and Wales we would have heard"

I wonder, if the remainers can hail a 13% fall in support (especially so when there was no real leave vote alternative candidate!!) as a victory, how they would cope with a bigger loss? A Monty Python sketch comes to mind. I think it was in a film with a knight fighting an ogre who chops his leg off and he say she I can still beat you with one leg. Then he chops other limbs off and each time he still wobbles around saying he can beat him.
I think it is all just spin to keep people like Mikey placated.

From 1997 it was Lib-Dem by majorities in the range 3,000-5,000
In 2010 Zac Goldsmith overturned this run to win by 4,000
Then came the aberration of the 2015 result - 23,000 Tory majority.
2016 has seen a return to "within normal parameters" - 2,000 Lib-Dem majority.
