we weren’t told prior that the outcome would result in Brexit.
Let's assume for a moment that what you say is accurate. It's just advisory. Not caring if the voters just give the government the "advice" to shoot the country in the foot also seems pretty dumb to me.
Also, between the referendum and actual Brexit there were TWO general elections. In 2019 the conservatives were reelected, with a stunning participation of 67%. You guys HAD to have woken up by then.
If you’re blaming the voters, you’re letting the Conservative party get away with it.
No, I'm not. But if you live in a democracy, you share the responsibility for decisions that are made in your name. And the only way they are not made in your name is if you vote against them. You don't get out of that by claiming "they lied" when those lies at the time were constantly debunked in basically all of the media if you just bothered to look.
