The position we are in has nothing to do with democracy, it has not been called in the interests of democracy bur purely as a matter of political expediency on the part of a deeply divided Tory party, backed up by blatant lies, and popularist slogans. All a short time after the Mayor election which didn't allow enough time for local Labour Parties to conduct intensive campaigns - even if we did get a good result in Ealing. We were fed a promise of bread and circuses if the big bad EU wolf was dealt with - the majority of people ignoring the fact that their hardship was brought about by domestic policy.

Morally Juncker owes the UK government nothing, but as a member of the Christian Social People's Party he should be concerned for thoseof us caught in the middle of it all.
