No, it’s along the same lines where you pointed out that general public had little to no idea politics worked.
They are as entitled too change their minds as much as we are
To call someone treacherous because they’re not doing what you want is akin to a small child throwing its rattle out of its pram

Manifestos/campaign pledges are valid until the acquired result is achieved. The leave campaign is a good example of this.
