Yes it is indeed a red herring Iains, regardless of who comes out with. I have never used it to argue the validity of the presidential election. Just the validity of the statement that whoever gets most votes, wins. Expecting MPs to do an honest days work has a HUGE influence on the referendum If they had done what they were paid to do and made the decision there would have been no stupid and ill informed referendum in the first place! No, I do not believe that MPs are superior beings. I do believe they have advisors in place to give them the facts and that they should make a decision based on those facts instead of abdicating that responsibility. DtG
