So, someone else who only thinks democracy counts when he agrees with the result.
Not at all. Since Thatcher, I’ve never had a PM I’ve wanted delivering policies I want. But that’s democracy.
If Remain had won the Referendum, I would have accepted the result and moved on.
And I am fully aware of the shortcomings of FPTP. However, all the alternatives are worse.
If you vote tactically to keep someone out, you get a government you didn’t really want. Which is ironic as you have deluded yourself into voting for something you don’t want to stop getting something you don’t want.
PR removes power from the voter and gives it to the party leaders. Under PR, every Tory MP would owe their place on the candidate list to Boris. Upset Boris, get moved down (or off) the list, guaranteeing you have no job after the next election. Suck up to Boris and move up the list and guarantee a job after the next election. Even if the Tory vote collapsed, the only people as Tory MPs would be those most supportive of Boris. Why would you want to give Boris even more power to stomp out party rebellions? Isn’t that a bit ironic for you to want to give Boris more control and job security?
You complain about disenfranchisement and highlight what to you is the injustice for a group of people who, in UK’s entire democratic history, tried to create the biggest disenfranchisement ever. Very ironic.
You complain about Labour and Illiberal Undemocrat voters being disenfranchised, and your solution is to try and disenfranchise Tory voters. Again, pretty ironic.
What you are essentially saying is that you don’t like democracy, you don’t want to be bound by democracy, and you want power given to other politicians, even though you don’t actually know what sort of government you’d get. That’s just stupid.
But, then again, if you were a supporter of a second referendum, stupidity, arrogance, self-aggrandisement and delusions of grandeur would be fairly common personality traits.
