The definitive guide to the 2016 European Referendum: how we got here; Cameron’s mistakes; the context, content and process; what Remain did wrong; why the Leave campaign was so successful; voters’ attitudes; and the aftermath.
“Explaining Cameron’s Catastrophe shows how the Brexiteers caused a revolution in British politics. It is indispensable for anyone seeking to understand public opinion in Britain; and no one understands public opinion better than Bob Worcester.” - Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government, King’s College, London

We don’t yet know if Cameron’s Catastrophe will be that of the nation’s, but those who don’t learn from contemporary history are doomed to repeat it.’ - Adam Boulton, Sky News
