"He has made his bed, but will force the whole country to lie down with him in it."

He didn't make the bed on his own. Every single person that voted for, or in any way supported, Brexit was equally complicit. They willing chose to blind themselves to the obvious lies from those pushing it and the clear warnings from those opposing it.

I'm equally disgusted by those who voted for it because they rabidly supported it, or voted for it because they thought it had no chance to pass and it would be "fun" to vote for it because there would be no consequence to doing so. They're getting what the deserve.

(And, yes, so are we in America with our own 2016 vote.)
