I'm not from the UK but I feel like this is not the voters fault, its the governments. The people voted so its the governments job to leave in a proper manner which the UK government has failed to do because they are incompetent.
Atleast thats how i view it from an American point of view.

The government is their elected representation. It’s a given the voters know significantly less than their reps do.

Well if the poeple decided to leave the EU then the elected officials need to follow through and make the exit as smooth as possible Its been like 3 years already and they still dont have a plan. The EU should not give them the extension unless they can prove to them they will move foward with a plan. I heard that there are EU elections coming soon too so that makes things more tricky.

Which is what their trying to do.... its not like they set out to be a laughing stock.
However they won be "lying" to the people, promising them "this & that" and "easy-peasey" solutions that amounted to chaseing rainbows & unicorns.

No one believed that it would win (brexit vote), so they all made up all kinds of crazy stuff, thinking "this is how I get easy votes" and get elected.
Now their in power (because of those lies) and finding that they cant make heads or tails of anything (much less their promises).

Well shame on them. If they knoew they could not follow through they should have never ran for office.
