"The referendum was a democratic vote."
Utter nonsense - again
Democracy can only work when people vote on all the facts - Brexit was driven by populism - the appeal to people's prejudices - the main instigator was the leader of a now discredited party which was based on Xenophobia
Any decision forced through by such a vote, where the voters were refused a chance to re-confirm that vote based on additional knowledge is as far from democracy as you can get.
Baccie just put it in a nutshell - the Nazis came to power on a democratic vote.
Why are those shouting the loudest about 'The People's Vote' also the main opponents of giving 'The People' the right to re-affirm that vote - rhetorical question, of course
It is no accident that the same people (here and elsewhere) treat working people with contempt
If we ask for a voice in the workplace we become "the Enemy within"
If shoddily built homes burn down it becomes "Loony Leftism" to allow the survivors to use vacant property.
I'm sure people here can make their own lists of the contempt with which ordinary people are regarded by these 'defenders of the people's vote'
Why have none of these people Iains, Stanron, Nigel; ever answered the simple question
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ASKING THE PEOPLE TO RE-CONFIRM THEIR DECISION - another rhetorical question, of course
'The People' now have far to much information to take 'THE RIGHT' decision
As far as the rabid right are concerned, "too much knowledge in the 'wrong' hands is a dangerous thing"
Jim Carroll
