Got news for you sweety - that's exactly how it works.


But that's not how representative democracy works, which is the normal form of
government in the UK.

In recognition of the fact that half of the voting population are of below average
intelligence and are unlikely to understand complex issues, they elect people
who they believe they can trust to decide those issues on their behalf.

And this time our "superior masters" (Oh puhlease!) called a referendum.

Now everyone should man up. live with the will of the majority and stop being such cry
babies.

Now under normal circumstances whether these representatives are
worthy of their trust will not be an issue as they're always subject to selection
committes where questions of propriety are involved. And in any case this
may well cancel itself out over the whole body of MPs and the large
number of issuse on which they'll decide.

In the case of the refendum there were no such representatives. While
the politicians promoting Leave all told blatant lies about the inevitable
effect of Leave on the UK economy.

In the absence of a second refendum or similar I sincerely believe
that once the effects of this decision have played out, effects which
could have been forseen by the prominent Leave promoters had they
chosen to look, then these people should be either removed from office, or
dragged from their bolt-holes if they've sunk off in the meantime and
tried for Treason. Just as would have happened in the good old days.

I had no objection whatsoever to the propsal that Tony Blair should be
charged for war crimes. And he only destroyed another country, Iraq.

If they succeed in their stated aims then these opportunstic clowns will
have destroyed their own

Or made done something we'll look back on and be grateful for.

How's your crystal ball?

There's no crystal ball needed.

Why do you think Johnson, Gove, IDS have all gone into hiding ?
Along with Osborne.

They never actually expected to win as they knew the inevitable
consequences if the UK ever decided to actually leave the EU.
So Johnson Gove and IDS don't want to face the inevitable
questions both as to why what they promised can't actually
be delivered straight aways as they claimed; and what will be
the ineviable consequences for the UK economy and things
like inward investment, of which the UK is the largest
current beneficiary within the EU, once the UK leaves

While Osbornes budget thing may initially have been seen as a
threat that doesn't mean he's not been closeted with his
officials since friday morning weighing up the various
measures thought necessary to mitigate any immediate threat
or loss of confidence in the UK and sterling from abroad.
