Why isn't the idea that Brexit was a Russian intel operation being discussed

3. For many reasons

First the result caught everyone by surprise. Exit wasn't at all expected. I was only a political move in part Cameron promised a referendum if his party wins the general elections in 2015. On another part, GB issued a veto threat over the UE budget 2014-2020 (Bloomberg discourse). The aim was to maintain the Tories cohesion (their win in 2015 was unexpected), to counter UKIP which was a growing threat to the Tories and put pressure on UE.

Brexit wasn't at all taken seriously and if you want a proof, Tories did not even had a first draft on how to leave Europe...Not the slightest idea, not a single word or thought in this case.

Several factors may explain the disastrous result : the way the question of the referendum was oriented, a campaign focused on wrong issues, false figures,...mostly, voters were less informed, all that in a context where extremists parties were growing almost everwhere in Europe. The mythic idea that the simplistic (idiot) answers to extremely complicated problems would fit. I was appalled to see how much britains hadn't any idea of what was really UE or couldn't even name the countries member of UE or did know how much countries were members...They started to search AFTER the results...

Furthermore, Russia as no strategic interest to have GB out the UE. In fact, it is exactly the opposite.

This is why Russia is almost certainly not involved in the referendum results.
