Clearly, the government will be held accountable for the success or otherwise of Brexit, but if you ever really thought that everything should be sorted and working perfectly in the first year beyond the transition period, you're living in fairy land.

So you accept they were lying when they said
We hold all the cards
We can have our cake and eat it
Easiest deal ever
You don't get to blame the public for living in fairy land for believing what their government told them

How long, you ask, before the government should be held accountable? Well, that's a very simplistic question, because it depends what happens. If we manage to get EU co-operation, things should have settled within five years, but if we cannot get agreement we will probably end upmgiving notice of termination of the deal. Clearly, that would lead to some further disruption, and stabilisation should come within a year or two of that.
I am very clear that Brexit is good for the long term future of the UK. Short term problems are the price we pay.
By the way, I have confused nothing.

Yes it is a very simplistic question and the answer is they'll never be held accountable, they'll blame others just as you have tried to do for their ineptitude and hope enough people believe them and with apologists like yourself they may well get away with it
