Why is the Government still cowtowing to the xenophobic mob? Its obvious Brexit is affecting the UK economy badly.
Because "the people" were told in advance that they were free to vote as they wanted, and that whatever they chose would be honoured.??

Democracy is only ever going to work well if the society that implements it, has the integrity & investiture necessary to properly consider the decisions required from it.

With increasing proportions of the population becoming addicted to tablets/phones, and being drip fed insidious facebook influences, we are fast approaching an Idiocracy.

Democracy in it's current form is evidently no longer fit for purpose. Brexshit is a good example.
So when the UK runs out of money and has to go cap in hand to the IMF like Greece, thats still OK because its what the people voted for?

Democracy also means people can change their minds and their voting preferences, which means Brexit can be reversed in a democratic way.

We already have one of the worst cancer survival rates in Europe. It will only get worse with policies like this.
