Yes it is. Asked "do you want to fundamentally change status quo in some random yet to be decided way that most experts warn you will result in chaos" population should have voted "no".
Population would have voted "no" if just a few more young people cared enough to get their asses to the voting booths.
The lessons from Brexit are the same as the lessons from Trump in USA, Kaczyński in Poland, Orban in Hungary:
1. vote
2. don't vote populists.
3. don't disregard warnings of experts.
4. don't buy conspiracy theories.
5. don't engage in witch hunts against minorities and don't vote people who do so.
It's not a lot to expect of people. It's the bare minimum if democracy is to work at all.
Cameron is at fault too, of course. Shouldn't have played with the fire. But some politicians will play with fire if there's a profit to be made and power to get. It's the voters who have to stop them, not the other way.
