A very good point you make. Where 37% of the electorate decides the social & economic fate of a country for a generation or more and, when it ends up in the predicated train wreck, you get the glib "well, you can always vote them out".

What I find quite sinister is the post truth revisionist gas-lighting with their justification of their [failed] position:
"Do you want to be part of a single European state with rules made in Brussels"
"
Well naturally, lurking behind a lot of Europhilia is a belief that we’re somehow not up to the task of governing ourselves and we need the EU to bypass our own second rate governments"
The mainstream movement who wished to remain part of the EU never advocated for these positions yet out they trot to prop up the justification of where we have ended up. Pure sophistry.
