If we had been voting on 23 June 2016 on
the question “Do you want to join the EU”, there would have been no doubt that a
Yes vote would mean we had to join the EU, no picking bits we liked and rejecting
other bits we didn’t. That’s what happens when you vote in a
democracy.
So what’s so different when
we vote to leave the EU? We are told now
by the Labour leader that leave doesn’t actually mean leave.
Now that Labour, the Liberal Democrats, a
number of Conservatives have given up any pretence they are democratic, can they
explain to us how ordinary people whose democratic voice they have taken away
are supposed to respond?
One hardly needs to look far in time or
distance to see the disasters that occur when the elite believe they know best.
