Generally people are considered responsible for the actions of their governments - at least those that were democratically elected.

Considered by whom? They must be insane, if they think that the presence of severely imperfect systems of election of candidates makes individuals in a population responsible. Only the use of a non intellectual organ can come to that conclusion.

You have just proven, through stating the pervasiveness of lunacy, that the responsibility of the sane can only be limited.
