No he isn’t. It isn’t the job of any senior foreign politician to make moral judgments about the democratic campaigns and votes held within sovereign, democratic nation states. That he has done so, and quite deliberately, speaks volumes about the Messiah complex that plagues the EU’s institutions and is one of the many reasons why Leave was the best outcome for country’s long term prosperity.
You are of course at liberty to continue to tell yourself that Leave voters were all deluded, conned, duped or whatever. Ultimately that will only feed into your own sense of national identity and make you feel miserable. It’s your problem. But should you ever feel like rejoining reality, you would be most welcome.

Yet again we disagree
If you believe that there were only "only two possible outcomes" then your delusion is complete. The fault for this mess is solely at the feet of those who orchestrated it. Simple. You may wish to wish this away but you will need to face it one day.
He has every right to make a judgment if the crass incompetence of the UK authorities affects the lives and prosperity of the citizens he represents. I am afraid bad decisions have consequences that need to be owned by the people who are responsible.
We are all in this reality that this shambles has led us to. You are proud of it, fine but don't patronise the rest of us who said this was going to happen.
