True. I do not know for certain. But if Cameron, or any serving member of the house, was not aware that the referendum was advisory then they were fools. The possibility that they were unaware is just that, a possibility and, in my opinion, a slim one. The far more likely probability is that they all knew and chose to ignore that fact because they also 'knew' that the vote would be to remain and the promise to take us out would never have to be fulfilled. And yes, this is politicians from both sides of the house and from both camps of the referendum.

I believe that they knew and either lied or chose to hope for the best. It is a far more likely scenario than the one being put forward that they did not know the legislation that they themselves had drafted and were stupid enough to put it to the country anyway.
