DMcG I think betrayed is the word you may be searching for. Not really. I did consider the word 'betrayal' before I posted, but did not think it captured what I wanted to say. That puts the blame on someone else - May, the remainers, the judges, the media, and who know who - anyone else, really, rather than face the possibility what was demanded may not have been realistic. If you voted to leave, you didn't vote to get some paper measurement. You voted to achieve something. It looks as if you are not getting that. That is what losing looks like.
