This court case is about how it can be triggered. You might expect the government to fully understand how these things work. They are actually split, even within the Tory cabinet. Shambles. | |

They would have to answer some questions and they do not have the answers. Plus the Lords might upset the timeline by asking even more questions. This is usually all a good thing as it helps ensure stuff is fully thought through. Mindlessly saying ' Brexit is Brexit' is a bit dull like. What does it actually mean ? | |

It's possible for the Conservatives or Labour to gain power by winning, say, 315 seats with a majority in each of 1 while the other may have won 280 with a majority in each of 10,000. The loser would have far more votes but not win. Made up numbers and all theoretical of course but possible. | | | |

It's possible for a party to win the popular vote and not have a single MP by narrowly coming second in every constituency in the country. Twice in history the party winning the popular vote has lost the election, in 1951 and 1974. | |

As Kennedy said "democracy is not perfect" but a system of representative democracy is largely successful in avoiding populism, demogogy and dictators. Direct democracy as espoused by Farages right wing coalition in Europe, leads to mob rule. | |

It's not mob rule, referenda offers a solution to those big constitutional issues that cannot be resolved by representative democracy with General Elections. The referendums we have had: 1) AV referendum. It's not right for Parliament to choose what system they are to be voted in on as an alternative system may benefit or hinder certain parties. Solution: Thwow it to the people. 2) Scotland independence. The SNP as a national seperatist party has gained massive support and won power up in Scotland but it is impossible for them to form a Government in Westminster and legislate for independence themselves and none of the other parties would even entertain the idea. Solution: Thwow it to the people. 3) Brexit. There has been a massive swell of Euroscepticism in the last few years culminating in UKIP winning the European election and gaining over 4 million votes in a general election. But like the SNP in (2) they will never be able to have enough influence within Westminster. All the other parties are officially pro-EU so this question can never be answered with representitive democracy. Solution: Thwow it to the people. | |

If 2016 has taught us anything, Sherpa, it's that whatever the political class and their friends in the media and big business say, do or want is now at odds with what the general populace want. The west is waking up. The days of being led by the nose are coming to an end with the realisation that there's usually an abattoir at the end of that road. I don't want to lump you into this bracket, but think about it...those who oppose direct forms of democracy generally do so as they realise that it leads to the break-up of the cosy, closed shop whereby the financial vested interests are able to impose their will on the rest of us. | |

This country "elects" governments with thumping parliamentary majorities which attract much lower vote percentages than either Trump or Clinton got. The UK is in no position to lecture anyone on the mechanics of democracy. | |

I oppose direct democracy because it offers the populace an opportunity to get what it wants, regardless of how workable or damaging it is. | |

I disagree. No problem is insurmountable if the political will is constant and resolute. "Can't" is the worst word in the English language, not so much a contraction as a curse. The spirit of submission it encapsulates, the apathy it engenders will in the final reckoning become the epitaph of the West unless we get off our knees. | |
