But if that makes the entire country considerably worse off, why would that be in our best interests?

Because it was the result and time will tell on the UK's prosperity

What a joke, so if we elect a PM after 3 years we can say oh well that was 3 years ago, time for a change! Leave WON so that’s what parliament should concentrate on!

If, in that time, it turns out all the promises were lies and going forward his/her premiership would damage the country then yes. We'd expect our representatives to remove that person.

Maybe they would at a GE. We have a referendum and that should be implemented. We could then have another after the first is implemented.

Even though what was promised during the referendum is nothing like the reality we now face? Like promising to jump in a river, discovering it's full of piranhas and being forced to do it anyway. Sheer madness!

What you call "madness" is democracy in action. For me Remaining, using your analogy was to decide to remain in the piranha filled river. Leave was to get out and onto the safer shore.
