non-uk person here, how did they get bullied into it? conservatives seemed to love brexit from my recollection

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.
