Another reason for voting for Brexit

There is a considerable difference of opinion on whether leaving is a good idea or not. Thats why the referendum got such a narrow result. The purpose of democracy is to resolve issues on which there are differences of opinion. I sat thropugh ten years of Labourt and bitr my lip, because of democracy. I will not sit through even three years of 'democracy stinks, we want the EU! "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' 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. 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. -- There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isnt true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. Soren Kierkegaard |

I will not sit through even three years of 'democracy stinks, we want the EU! "The people did not know what they were voting for". On which side would that be? See below. "The people were lied to", On which side would that be? Well we know many brexiteers lied because they have said what they promised isn't going to happen. "The campaign was organised by people with plenty of money - most of it offshore". On which side would that be? Both, so what? "The referendum was only advisory?" Despite being nade abundantly clear to the electorate the the decision would be acted on. Even though the brexiteers did nothing but lie. "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. But nobody with sense believes a word you say. 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. But that's the brexiteers stance, "you can't change your mind as we have won!" However the same brexiteers also said they would continue to demand another referendum if they didn't win. So who is being anti democratic, the people who want another say or the ones that don't? 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. but leave haven't got a 45% win and what they did get is based on lies. This is not about a 'difference of opinion' 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. well yes brexiteers don't want democracy, they want decisions in their favour to be unchallengeable, but not the other way around. 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. Parliament represents the people and the majority of people don't agree with you. If you want to scrap parliament the start a party and get voted in to do so. 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. The same sort of lies brexiteers use? No its not, most of what was predicted has happened on the stay side but nothing has happened on the leave side other than "we aren't actually going to do what we said (because it was all lies)". |

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?

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. |

I sat through ten years of Labour and bit my lip, because of democracy. It must have really broken your heart then having spent all those years lining your pockets in South Africa which at the time was under an Apartheid regime. Still I suppose you can at least console yourself that you got out just in time. michael adams .... |
