That reminds me of the guy who started the petition requiring a second referendum, if the turnout was low or the result was close. He filed it before the referendum was actually held, in the expectation that Remain would win, since he himself was in favour of leaving.

As it turns out, Leave won and the petition was then signed in huge numbers by Remainers....and the guy who originally started the petition then scorned the Remainers for trying to overturn the result.
