Do you want Democracy? Or not?

[Cleo1303]

We have just had the Referendum vote and Leave won.

Now we have everyone from David Lammy saying the Government should ignore the result, to Nicola Sturgeon and various London Remainers wanting Scotland and London to declare UDI.

So, do you want democracy where everyone's vote counts, or do you only want a vote when the result suits you and matches your own opinion?

Honest answers please.

*Im pretty sure someone could get a referendum on capital punishment past 50% ( especially if there was a high profile "evil" serial killer to base the vote on). Or maybe some kind of restriction on abortion, or freedom of speech, maybe gay marriage if enough intolerance of fear and blame was whipped up.
Essentially "democracy" has become some kind of Xfactor style poll in which complex arguments are reduced to soundbites and celebrity endorsements.

I believe in representative democracy in which we elect people who we believe will best represent our communities best interests, and spend their time debating and make tough decisions in the countries best interests*

This.

Well said.
