UK right now

Last I checked the Brits wanted Brexit literally every time they voted on it

Well the population wanted it
The politicians didn't
So we had an election
And the population voted in politicians that wanted Brexit
(I'm simplifying obviously, but that's the gist of the last few years)

Kinda fishy that so many bigwigs don't want an independent Britain...

Kinda funny for all the flack the US got from overseas when owe had a government shutdown for a couple weeks in 2018-2019.
