MBMG Investment co-founder and Managing Partner Paul Gambles explained Remainers were able to exploit the uncertainty and lack of clarity from the referendum for their own gain. In an interview with Express.co.uk, he insisted the 2016 referendum was constructed with no realistic expectation of Leave winning. The economic advisor and analyser noted this allowed both Remainer campaigners and politicians to be “incredibly disruptive” as the referendum’s lack of clarity could be used in their favour.

He said: “When you break it down to its most basic components.

“We have got a situation here where there was a 52 to 48 approximately mandate that was given.

“But that mandate was very badly defined.

“The reason we think is largely because the referendum was designed without there being any thought of any intention of actually leaving.

“So the people who designed it didn’t really give it any proper mandate for what leaving would like.

“We had a 52-48 mandate, no enforcement mechanism, what that has done is allowed the 48 to be incredibly disruptive, exploiting the uncertainty and lack of clarity that was inherent in the referendum itself.

“Also we have another issue now, if you have no data set for probability you might look at things like consequences and stuff like that.

“But actually the consequences now are becoming increasingly less connected to what the outcome is going to be.

“I think people are not really basing outcomes on what consequences are.

“We are ending up more and more now in the situation where, to use the cliche, a camel is a horse designed by a committee.

“It is going to be a matter of finding out what enough people can agree to.”

On Sunday, Prime Minister Mr Johnson set up a network of top-level committees to try to ensure Brexit takes place by the deadline of October 31.
