I think part of the problem was that they didn't expect to win & so said any old shit that came into their head.
When they did they suddenly realised that their promises were either unrealistic, contradictory, undeliverable, plain stupid or a combination of all 4.
Then they realised that people, who voted 'leave' for a wide range of reasons, expected them to deliver on that reason.
The '£350m' for the NHS being a prime example of this (I know several who voted 'leave' because of this blatant & obvious lie) & some were very unhappy when it was dropped the next morning: eg Stuart at the Mitre who said something along the lines of 'Oh well, at least the NHS will get £350m a week then.' & wasn't happy when I told him that the 'promise' hadn't even lasted to 8am.
