The purpose of democracy is to resolve issues on which there are
differences of opinion.

Not resolve so much as do what the majority want done.

I sat thropugh ten years of Labourt

Thats what happens in any real democracy, the side
of politics that is the govt changes periodically.

The only time that doesnt happen is with places like Singapore,
Taiwan and Japan that are a pathetic excuse for a real democracy.

and bitr my lip, because of democracy.

Those Labour years did work out quite well for most,
essentially because Blair wasnt the most rabid of Labour.

I will not sit through even three years of 'democracy stinks, we want the
EU!

Nothing you personally can do with make any difference to that.

And that has nothing to do with whether its a very divisive issue anyway.

"The people did not know what they were voting for". On which side would
that be?
"The people were lied to", On which side would that be?
"The campaign was organised by people with plenty of money - most of it
offshore". On which side would that be?
"The referendum was only advisory?" Despite being nade abundantly clear
to the electorate the the decision would be acted on.
"Things have changed: We need a second referendum" I said that halfway
through BLair. No one listened.
"It will be an economic disaster for the country", I said that as soon as
Blair was elected. No one listened.

In short I have sat through populist democracy - Thatcher, Blair, Brown
Camneron - none of whom I voted for and for the first time in my life I am
on the winning side of an election.

And the LOSERS want to now say democracy is only when you vote the right
way.

Whenair won with about 25% of te electorate we wre told be had a
democratic mandate. When Leave wins with 45% or whatever we wre told they
do not.

This is not about a 'difference of opinion'

Of course it is.

This is about tearing up the last vestiges of democracy this country
possesaes, wiping youre arse with it and selling the nation to a foreign
power.

Not when brexit happens on 29-Oct, and it will, you watch.

And very likely a no deal brexit too, which will
work fine with at most some short term shortages
of some stuff if enough start panic hording.

The day after the referendum it was a differeence of opinoin. Since then
it has become a fight to tear power from those who have usurped it from
the people.

We dont hate remoaners, but we are very very angry with those who have
their fingers up their bottoms making them dance to a tune of unrelenting
media propaganda.

I dont buy conspiracy theories. It just strongly held differences
of opinion and refusing to accept the referendum result.
