Wasn’t aware of that detail tbh.

Most people (here or in Britain) aren’t/weren’t. The Brexit referendum wasn’t legally binding, but a disgracefullly large segment of their political establishment decided to treat it that way in order to try to exploit the Leave sentiments (mainly greed, exploitation and racist xenophobia, IMO: dressed up in “nationalism” as an excuse) for political advantage.
And we can see how that’s worked out…
