npub1pu6zualylf5ut8hz9el6kzmng946wty843g7qyn6d8mc999pmrkqwau9fd (npub1pu6…u9fd) npub170vth99f30mk0s683wkxkhdhraxkmnyc5a8nw9p2046jz8ztdnps3wjavf (npub170v…javf) I think Cameron didn't want a supermajority vote because he just assumed he would win easily. So there was no point in making it more rigorous or binding.

His hubris was such that he assumed it would be 70-80% to remain, and then he could just tell the leavers to shut up for now.

If he had thought it would go as it has, he would probably have pushed a lot harder. Or more likely, just not held the vote at all, until he knew he would win.
