No, we didn't - any more than Scotland voted for separation by electing the SNP, as the outcome of the 2014 referendum proved.
We elect a government with a broad manifesto. Nobody is in love with every line of that manifesto; it's just a matter of picking the one that's the best fit with your own views.
An EU referendum has not been a top priority until now. That's not to say it wouldn't have been welcomed, had it happened. In fact, with the state the EU is now in, I'd say the stars have aligned quite nicely.
