Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Hammond's next three replacements -- Sajid Javid, Rishi Sunak and Nadhim Zahawi -- all struggled with the same essential problem: that the political promises made by the Conservatives in 2019 to get Brexit over the line made it impossible to deliver the type of economic policies that Lawson had.
52% : Despite [David] Cameron's promise of a referendum, Brexit still felt in many ways like a fringe position.
46% : Sunak famously had a portrait of Lawson on his wall, but in office he raised taxes to historic highs.
44% : He later recanted his pro-European past and became the first major figure in the Conservative party to call for Brexit in 2013.
