Should we change the voting rules before any new referendum

[Mordac]

Proportional representation would be a very good first step

No, it wouldn't.

[Old Greg]

And you are a fooking idiot if you do not think there is a huge threat from socialist thinking like this - the assumption that the communist regimes which killed hundreds of millions of people are a good thing.

Hitler was an amateur compared to Mao - 6 million compared to 65 million

And yet it is facism and not communism which is the problem.

You are not comparing like with like with your numbers. The Mao number may be correct as deaths caused by Mao. Seems reasonable if you include premature deaths due th famine. It isn't the number of people murdered under Mao.

Whereas the Hitler number is very tightly defined, possibly by the number of people murdered in the Holocaust.

Why would you create such an inaccurate comparison?

[Old Greg]

No, it wouldn't.

Is that your first or second preference vote?

Oh so starving your people to death is acceptable then?

The point I was trying to make is that those ideologies allow/accept the death of some citizens for the greater good of the rest.

Sounds like Britain under the Tories.

The method of voting in the referendum was a pile of ****.

Brits aboard should have been given a right to vote. Even Iran sets up voting stations abroad including the USA.

The threshold for changes such a leaving the EU should have been set at 60% or greater making any result clear.

Any irregularities in funding should have made the vote void.

It was deemed ok to Churchill - Bengal Famine 1943 . Churchill clearly felt the ideology of allowing/accepting the death of 2.1 to 3 million Bengals was for the greater good of the rest.

Or is it OK for our great hero to do this, but not others?

Well the conservative Manifesto did say that they would change the 15 year law, but they didn't. Apparently it's still going through Parliament...

[Eirikur]

No, it wouldn't.

Because??

Because it's a successful and far more democratic way of voting in most other European countries?

In fact, there is a host of very important legislation that has been shelved because of Brexit. This is the sickest government I have known in 60+++ years.
