* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: 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.

* EagleLand: Brexitland's version of America is this, full of cheerful buffoons who like deep-fried food and giant foam fingers.
* FictionalCounterpart: The Daily Murdoch to general British tabloids, such as the Daily Mail and The Sun (it is implied to have a PageThreeStunna), and its right-wing anti-EU views. The Gordian is one to the Guardian, being more reassuring, if a bit smug.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: The Heartless Queen / Theresa May is as fond of crying "OffWithHisHead!" as the Wonderland character she's based on. And if that's not enough, she wants to launch Brexitland into the sun.

* AnAesop: Yes, dry, impartial facts are boring. Learn them anyway, or you'll be left with chaos.
* AuthorFilibuster: 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. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in that Alice herself notes that for some reason, her vocabulary has suddenly gotten much larger.

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...

* HypocriticalHumor: 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."
* {{Jerkass}}: The tweeting egg [[Creator/DonaldTrump Trumpty Dumpty]].
* WholePlotReference: To ''Alice in Wonderland" obviously.
