"Of those who chose to vote the majority chose to leave the EU."
But iw=s as not the majority of the people - which is what Steve said,
There's another thread running at present on how people feel about voting and politics
At present in Britain, those voting in elections are around 665; only 72% votd in the Brexxit referendum
That not only calls into question any decision taken at election time, but the the political system.
Disillusionment is the mother of extremism.
The voting system will never be changed while it favours those in power.
We have a PR system in Ireland, not perfect by any means, but if forces those in power to listen to things that concern people and, to a degree, respond to them
The privatisation ow water (suits some people, I know), is still being fought over several years after its introduction, thanks to the Irish people taking to the streets in vast numbers - it wouldn't happen back home.
Millions of people tok to the streets opposing Blair's WMD adventure - he went ahead and narrowly avoided being tried as a war criminal
Who was in the right?
