The British public base who they vote for along similar lines, so on this occasion you're right, for once.
Though again, the results ain't pretty.
Sadly, for some, the days when politicans were held in high esteem are long gone.
The general public are quite capable of assessing a situation, and deciding what they want their future to be.
They aren't idiots.
Well no more so, than the people they elect.
Again, all irrelevant.
It's been decided, we aren't to have the democratic right to say whether we want to be a member of a body, that is totally different from the organisation we voted to join.
The Labour party are actively seeking we be given a referedum about the proposed changes to the House of Lords.
So the argument that the public aren't capable of giving their opinion via a referendum, really doesn't wash.
The vast majority of people want their say about E.U. membership in a referendum.
It will happen.
When mainstream parties see their support vanishing.
