@6efaac80 The Remain side in the Brexit referendum tried to win a vote of confidence on EU membership, but the Leave campaign ran it as a protest vote against 8 years of austerity (with a side order of xenophobia). The austerity protestors saw Cameron and his smug, fat Tory millionaire mates pushing support for the EU so they kicked back. Simple as that. Markets never got a look-in with 90% of the voters.
