Winston Churchill is often reported as saying "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter" and the group on Newsnight last night added weight to that. I was particularly unimpressed by the woman who said the Irish Border did not cross her mind when she voted. Now that is understandable if you live in Hampshire or Northumberland, but this woman lived 30 miles from the border. How can it not cross your mind if you grew up during or just after the Troubles?

As it happens I don't remember if she voted leave or remain: it is the lack of thought that is disturbing.
