It's also so predictable that it's like satire.

Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger Revoking article 50 will mean that democracy is officially meaningless. That means that you and I have no say in anything. It will be, as the cynics among us always knew, just an illusion to satisfy the masses. Some hollow victory that would be. We have no real say anyway. At least not in the way you’re framing it. More fool you for thinking that, frankly So it doesn’t really render it meaningless, as it’s the same as it always was. Also - democracy, arguably in this particular instance, yes. As a whole, no. Elections still produce democratically accurate, enforced results. As for whether that makes any real difference... that’s a different question Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Until someone can actually give me a good, viable example of what would replace it, rather than just whining all the time... Socialism, Peace and Love and Communism are not viable btw.

Originally posted by .TUX. Which makes you a good citizen. Well done. Now, aside from ticking a meaningless box, where, when voting for many years now, did you ever ask for those that followed your grandparents to be worse off than they were?

That other opinions exist is just par for the course. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

You want to dismiss the message because the messenger was the BBC? That it is unacceptable to you doesn't mean it isn't the right thing to do or unacceptable to others. It simply means that you have an opinion i don't share. I am glad it's predictable.
