"During the referendum the EU should have done a lot more promotion of the good they do and the benefits that directly come to the UK through its membership and its status within it."



No that was for the UK political class to do,and very unpopular politicians chose to make it their message. It wouldn't have mattered too much anyway because the most popular press in the UK was full of the kind of reactionary nonsense that has led us here. Attacks on immigrants increased 3 fold in that referendum campaign.

I did say that the political parties were to blame as well, but surely it was also the EU who should have been saying stuff?? Don't buy the unpopular politicians part either, the leave campaign was led by two of the most divisive and inept figures in UK politics in Farage and Boris, they just did a much better job of getting their points and message across. As for the media, there are enough media outlets on either side of the aisle to get any message across that they wanted to but with Leave commanding both the message and agenda even those media on the remain side were left with talking about only what the leave campaign was saying.
