This is a false analogy. A politician breaking promises can get voted out if they don't keep their word. It is a person making promises that may not work when they are faced with the reality of governing. These rules were in place long before Brexit was on the ballot as to how things would proceed given a country leaving the EU and how non-member states gain privileges in dealing with the EU. They just flat out lied. The result is something that isn't reversed as simply as a new election when the term is up.

Now I could see our good friends from Europe wanting a re-vote. It's amazing that we heard all these bad things that will/may happen to UK if they exit, but the rest of the EU wants them to stay.
I'm not really sure what this has to do with my post, but whatever.
