Brexit is just the most prominent mismanagement by the British government. It is just the most prominent failure. The people in charge have not used their newly gained independence to improve their country. Brexit is just a distraction from internal problems. Even with Rishi Sunak it doesn't sound like anything has changed, it is business as usual.

It would be better if people who don't want to vote were offered the option of sortition, basically just pick random people from the population, it would be better competition than any career politician or popular entertainer.
