Brexit was weird because foreign policy was almost directly on the ballot (hexbear.net)

Not that it was good or there for good reasons, but it seems to happen quite rarely (say, shovelling weapons into Israel or whatever is not even tangentially on the ballot)

Brexit was entirely the product of an internal conflict in the bourgeois class, nobody cared whatsoever until it was made into an issue, but a percentage of rich fucks figured they'd get more favourable profits that way, and a different percent wouldn't.

And whenever those bourgeois conflicts happen, the rules stop applying it seems.
