I honestly believe that he was pro brexit and used his position as the lowest rated politician st that time so that left leaning people would vote against him rather than the policy. Even if that wasn’t his intention (I believe it was) It was what happened.

Not sure it really works like that in many countries.
But it can also go horribly wrong. For example, Cameron called the Brexit referendum without wanting Brexit, which did not go as planned
