Was gonna say the same. As an outsider looking in, I too was rationalizing it as a fluke vote. But nope, the nation doubled down on the pro-Brexit Tories in subsequent elections, thus confirming the desire to really go through with it all. It's all so sad.

Labour had a Brexiteer as it's leader (Corbyn). I know he said otherwise but it was an obvious lie, he had been campaining against the EU for his whole political life. There really wasn't a good chocie.

Between the leaders of the two largest parties supporting it and a majority of the citizens voting for it, Brexit was definitely going to happen. It's hard to say that it shouldn't have or was a fluke, even though it was a dumb thing to do :(
