I'm far from an expert, but to be totally honest I think most people didn't really expect it to happen this way. The media were all talking about how it's not possible and no one knew where the funding would come from. Everyone was mostly expecting it to not happen to be quite different and more complex.

It turns out we overestimated both the PM and the Chancellor.
