That was a referendum, but my point basically was that the government was like "we have a mandate to leave the EU fully" when the vote result was like... 52% in favour, and many people (including some I know personally) regret voting leave because they didn't realise how significant the EU was.

Of course, there was a 2019 election where the conservative party won on a "get brexit done"' campaign under Boris Johnson, but their opposition was split between Lib Dems (wanted a second referendum and was quite clear) and Labour (run under Corbyn who already lost an election, was extremely incompetent and hard to elect, and decided for some reason in this crucial time to fencesit the entire Brexit issue. All I can remember is them offering free WiFi which has the same vibes of the 2024 national service campaign)
