        A handful of Conservatives were being dumb and were advocating for brexit, David Cameron (Cons PM) didn’t want brexit but was like sure let’s have a vote on it, and he was confident the British people would just vote to stay so they didn’t do much campaigning.

        The individual MPs were told they had to toe the party line or else face deselection (be fired)
