A man who was until Wednesday in charge of the UK's defense policy stands accused of leaking information relating to national security to a journalist. But while pro-remain voters found comfort in the europhile certainty of the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party, Brexit supporters had less clear options. And considering that Nigel Farage's new Brexit Party did not stand in these elections, a "pure Brexit" option was not on the ballot in any real sense. Brexit was never a party issue, so it's deeply misleading to interpret Brexit from the results of national elections fought on party lines. The Brexit political vacuum has created a new normal in the UK.
