Brexit isn't any different. If it had been demonstrated how it would make things better, and help was asked for, it'd have been given. Indeed the country voted for an oven ready deal to get it over with (a lie, sadly, since it was always going to be an ongoing process to define our relationship with the EU). But Brexiters abdicating responsibility for their choice - nope, they don't get to do that. Make it work, or get out the way and let someone else take a different approach.
I think most brexiters would point to the Covid epidemic and the war in Ukraine as being a major problem with how it’s gone so far. It was always going to take a long time before we would or wouldn’t see any benefits to us but those two things in particular were unseen.
