The referendum is just them, as you say, refusing to take responsibility. They said things would change and they would get a better deal, they went to the EU who effectively said 'No'. They don't want to either sign up to a lesser deal than promised or take reasonability for the consequences of default.
The EU may be screwing over Greece but no one is being honest with them that default and losing the Euro isn't going to be easy either. No one has told them them that whichever path they take they cannot afford the society they want or at least not with a lot of tax reform. The days of low taxation and massive pensions are over.
