From the outset this campaign has suffered from political lethargy, egotism and disarray, but those are not the causes. Ultimately we went to war with the establishment without a plan of battle, without an endgame and the establishment saw us coming. We marched for our referendum, we're demanding our revolution, and now we have the chance, the public ask us "Why?". As yet, we have not satisfactorily answered that question.
All we have right now is a generic whinge that the EU is bad - and while voters also know it is, we're not giving them good enough reason to rock the boat. The best we can muster is a rant from Boris Johnson - a man we are not even sure is a eurosceptic. What we can say is that he is not a revolutionary, nor is he a leader of men. He's an opportunistic career politician who has nothing at stake and is someone who does very well from the status quo. One of us he is not.
In the end, we do not have a coherent movement. I'm not even sure that we are a movement. The Leave campaign doesn't realise it is revolutionary and most of the activists don't know that either. The media doesn't understand it, nor does it care. David Cameron is laughing at us.
Were I in his shoes, I would be too. Tory MPs are giving him a free pass on one of the biggest political lies of the century and the Leave campaign hasn't even realised that David Cameron is the target - not the EU. The fact we have anointed one of Cameron's school chums as our leader gives you some clue as to how utterly incompetent we are. Depressed? You should be.
