I take your point, but it's a bit like saying you shouldn't blame Hitler for the way the German people voted.

I happen to agree with your sentiment regarding how/why the people of England voted for Johnson, and yes they voted for the "Get Brexit Done" slogan and Johnson the cheerful clown rather than a particular candidate, it's the way populism works and Cummings
et al (the brains behind the front man) were well versed and successful in the art.
It doesn't excuse the creeping power grab and disrespect for parliamentary democracy and decency. The way things are progressing it does look a bit like the wheels might come off by the time of the next general election, the reality might just have dawned by then, but then again there's no predicting whether the flock will actually wake up or will fall for the same old lines again. I wouldn't like to predict it. 70 million people voted for Trump second time round.
