An amalgamation of the words 'brexit' and 'remain' or 'bremain'.

1. (As a general term): When the vote of the majority ends up being ignored, because political outcomes seldom have anything to do with democracy.

2. (More specifically): What occurred following an EU membership referendum of the UK population held on 23rd June 2016. The majority voted for Britain to exit 'brexit' its membership of the European Union, but the actual outcome finally decided upon by politicians with notoriously scant regard for democracy was that Britain remained or 'bremained' as a member of the European Union.

The aftermath of the event was symbolised by approximately half the UK's population being indiscriminately branded as 'racist' by the readership of the Guardian newspaper, and the largest, longest simultaneous whine in recorded history, chalked up by Britons who favour having more government interference in their lives rather than less of it. This whine continued until it became obvious that brexit would never happen, hence a 'brexain' is what they got.
