> what did people think they were voting for? Brexiters did, indeed, in general, think they were voting to strip the rest of us of our rights, and they succeeded in doing so - they thought that this was worth "protecting us from Brussels" or preventing immigration or that it would mean £350 million a week to the NHS or whatever else. This court case (and a handful of similar ones) was a last-ditch attempt of people stripped of their rights to keep them.
