Who was the twat on here moaning at me for insisting that democracy should never be given directly to the people?
Well, there's a reason for that.
Has anyone told Prufrock to fuck off yet? I think he has me on mute.

The etymology of the word suggests simply that democracy is people power.

You elect politicians to make decisions
We have an elected political elite who know how the world works, yes. You don't directly ask people, the majority of whom are fucking idiots

I live in a northern ex-mining town
Plenty peeps I spoke to were voting Leave to keep the Syrians out even tho there are zero foreigns up here.
I'm guessing most people down south voted leave in the hope of making Britain great again like when we conquered all those crap countries.

As an ex mining town I assume that this was a labour heartland?
Maybe if labour had addressed their concerns,pointed out where they were mistaken they would have voted differently.
Rather than leave it to the tories to make the case for remaining.

I have to agree with you there.
I had high hopes for Corbyn but the way he had explained his position on the EU was pitiful.

Looks like there's going to be a vote of no confidence in him now.
Wonder how all that new blood in the labour party that voted him in are going to respond?

He's probably taken you off ignore, replied and then put you on ignore again.
That's what he does.

During the Scottish independence referendum thingy
I heard a woman say she was going to vote Yes because "they don't sell Irn Bru in England" and "the Westminster government gives people in London luncheon vouchers".
Fuck me. I haven't even heard the phrase "luncheon voucher" since 1976, and they DO sell sodding Irn Bru in England. Still tastes like fucking Tizer.

That would be me
Point proved once again I believe. If you ask the masses a question they aren't in anyway qualified or educated enough to contemplate, you end up with them voting for the loudest, flashiest, most entertaining option, in lieu of a sensible outcome.
They've been trained by years of low brow phone-ins, opinion polls and voting for x-factor clones.
We've got what we deserve yet again.
