Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
If the EU was "more democratic?" So what was "democratic" about a shitty coalition that excluded the second-largest party, a referendum that was called by a government frightened to death of both UKIP and its own right wing, nothing to do with the interests of this country, a referendum campaign predicated on telling the people of this country lie after lie and whipping up xenophobia, a party failing to win a majority doing a shitty, grubby deal with a bunch of sectarian bigots in order to cling to power, that same minority government trying to pass a bill that would mean parliament being bypassed on thousands of laws at their whim? "If the EU was more democratic" my arse. We have absolutely nothing to teach the EU about democracy.
