It is a very good point that the leave campaign was in no position to make promises as it wasn’t the government. I didn’t have a great deal of time for David Cameron before the referendum but I did admire the fact he resigned as he was a supporter of remaining in the EU
Did you read the bit about the UK losing its veto?

Technically, our agreement would be needed to scrap it altogether, but you never know what barrel we might be held over in the future to extract that agreement.

And frankly, if Jeremy came to power, you can kiss goodbye to that rebate!
