Originally posted by CretinWatcher View PostWhen UKIP got 14% of the vote in the UK, they got 1 seat in parliament.
Last time they got a similar proportion of the UK vote for the EU parliamentary elections, they got 5 seats in the EU parliament.
And now, you're about to get some old woman running the country for 4 years, that nobody voted for.
Moreover, the party in power has abandoned some key promises (like balancing the books) for the life of the parliament.
And any bills passed will go to an unelected house for ratification.
You're a mug who's been brainwashed by the upper classes who run this country that you live in democracy.
Good luck with that.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostWeird. Why do you think that warnings that it's all going to go horribly wrong, and posts that purport to show it's happening already are "disagreeing with the concept of democracy"?
With that kind of reasoning. You're really doing very little to disabuse Bremainers of the idea that Brexiters are rather stupid.
The UK will be made to do some time on the naughty step, partly as a result of the markets (that was always going to happen, they called it wrong, sod 'em), but mostly to deter any other nations from expressing similar frustrations at the ballot box.
My point stands, The EU is undemocratic, unaccountable and mostly, if not entirely, useless. We can have a whole debate about which bits of the EU are more or less undemocratic and useless if you like, but I think we're most over all that now.
Call "Brexiters" stupid if you like, that's your right, but you don't have the moral ground when it comes down to dishing out yellow cards to those who offer a different viewpoint. "For God's sake man, go"
