A 'democratic' referendum

[SnowBells]

I hear Brexiters say time and time again that Remainers can't deal with the democratic vote of the referendum. But do you really think a referendum is a democratic tool?! Especially after the propaganda and lies Britain was subjected to?

Read THIS Wikipedia page and tell me... would you just have sat by then? The famous guy on that page used referendums to get into power and stay in power by feeding propaganda to people. Hence, it was banned there after after WW2.

There have been referendums in the past in other countries where only small things were changed, and life moved on.

Obviously wouldn't please the Leavers.

Wikipedia defines Referendum as follows:
'is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to vote on a particular proposal. This may result in the adoption of a new law.' In this case we decided that we don't want to be part of the EU and so we are expected to apply the article 50 and negotiate an agreement. A referendum however cannot impose the the other 27 states to adopt certain laws or agreements. The final agreement will be subject to negotiations and has a time scale of 2 years. The article on Wikipedia has references to various criticisms of referendums.

Given that the Treaty was acontract that had an exit clause of Article 50 being a member of EU does not mean you are certain the country you live in or you are citizen of will for ever be part of it.

If you think we have democracy just wait and see what's around the corner. I voted remain. I believe in democracy.

NameChanger22 I voted Remain too. I too believe in democracy.

I am not lawyer and have not studied Law but find this article interesting.
