With elections, the reverse, thoughtfulness rather than
obedience, should yield better outcomes.

It didn't with Brexit. Leaving seems to have been driven by emotion,

My wife, a committed leaver, comes from Southwold which has links to
inshore fishing but hardly relevant on a national scale. She had links
to the travel industry through her mother (BEA) and godfather
(Thompsons) and spends far more time abroad now than I do.
So why attempt to pull up the drawbridge?
