I dont see how this is democracy?
Democracy is a very complex concept, that’s dressed up (usually by people for their own ends) as being very simple. We operate under a system of representative democracy because it is simply too time consuming to put every vote to the populace (simply put, no decision could be made on that basis). Under our first past the post system, the governing party (even one with a majority) can have polled well under 50% of the votes. Is that democracy? A party rules even though less than half the population has voted for it.
Say you change the system to a referendum style election. What if a mad despot stands for election and campaigns on a platform that all women under 40 are to become bonded slaves. If 50.01% of people vote for that, is that democracy? (And, as a second order question, if the answer is “yes”, is democracy a good thing?)
Look at the referendum campaign. May’s deal bears no resemblance (as far as I can see) to what the Leave campaign said would happen in the event of a “Leave” vote. Is that democracy? Or is that someone attempting to force through their own agenda?
