Alice in Brexitland is a parody of Brexit written by Lucien Young and based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
When Alice follows Dave the Camerabbit down the Brexit-hole, she emerges into a strange new land, where up is down, black is white, experts are fools and fools are experts...
This features examples of:
- An Aesop: Yes, dry, impartial facts are boring. Learn them anyway, or you'll be left with chaos.
- Author Filibuster: Alice's rant in Parliament has none of the whimsy of the rest of the dialog and is pretty obviously the author's unfiltered opinions. Lampshaded in that Alice herself notes that for some reason, her vocabulary has suddenly gotten much larger.
- Eagleland: Brexitland's version of America is this, full of cheerful buffoons who like deep-fried food and giant foam fingers.
- Fictional Counterpart: The Daily Murdoch to general British tabloids, such as the Daily Mail and The Sun (it is implied to have a Page Three Stunna), and its right-wing anti-EU views. The Gordian is one to The Guardian, being more reassuring, if a bit smug.
- God Save Us from the Queen!: The Heartless Queen / Theresa May is as fond of crying "Off with His Head!" as the Wonderland character she's based on. And if that's not enough, she wants to launch Brexitland into the sun.
- Hypocritical Humor: A lot of characters.
- The Cheshire Cat claims that like all patriotic Brits he would love to live in America.
- The song "Mr Corbyn" has him mention that "Though I disobeyed every leader I've had, I demand your complete loyalty."
- My God, What Have I Done?: Tweedleboz and Tweedlegove's reaction to the Leave Vote: "Boo hoo, boo hoo, goodbye EU - what are we going to do?"
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: The characters (other than Alice) all represent real pundits and politicians under a Paper-Thin Disguise as various original Wonderland characters.
- Nostalgia Filter: Alice's take on the Cheshire Cat is that he seems to really hate the world the way it is, which is why he prefers to live in a long-lost one that never really existed.
- Political Overcorrectness: The Cheshire Cat complains about this trope being in effect. Alice can't quite get him to explain just how and why that is the case, though.
- The Starscream: Tweedlegove backstabs (literally) Tweedleboz.
- We ARE Struggling Together: The Caterpillar is much more interested in fighting the "Blairite scum" in his own party than actually doing anything to oppose the rival party.
- Whole-Plot Reference: To ''Alice in Wonderland" obviously.
