is this not what you want here? the vote was literally direct democracy in action. or are you simply not happy with the results? perhaps you think they should shift to an electoral system to make sure you get the results you wanted?
Brexit
- Thread starter Bob the Citronaut
- Start date
but they voted in direct democracy and the leave option won. why are you so against direct democracy? or are you only against direct democracy when your side loses?
Hey, I'm all for direct democracy. If the United Kingdom wants to fu*k themselves over because of perceived boogieman immigrants, that's on them.
I haven't been following this clusterfu*k too closely but what I do know is that a lot of England's "Joe Sixpack" crowd sent a 'FU' message with their Brexit votes without realizing the full consequences of what they were doing. A lot of American voters responsible for Trump's Electoral College win did the same thing.
Democrats lose an election and suddenly Federalism is garbage and must be replaced by absolute mob rule.
Funny how this "mob rule" thing differs for you depending on the subject.
Oh and when have I spoken to the contrary? I've always spoken out against mob rule referendums, including the ones on the FL ballot last November.
"Wahh!!! Federalism and being a Republic is so awful! My candidate didn't win so we need to blow up the system! Wahh!!"
Signed,
Whiny Bitch Liberals
At this point I have to believe that the ucfknight85 account has got to be a social experiment.
Calling people voting for what they want "mob rule" I mean this is some next level spin. You're really stepping your game up on this. First comparing terrorism and abortion and now when people get all wound up on election day and vote that's just "mob rule"
Your brain must be preserved for science.

lol look at you. Shook Chicken. You're crying so hard about wanting the rules changed because you lost an election that you're now deflecting harder than you've ever had to deflect before.
Here, let me help you - no one gives a shit that millions of Shook liberals homogenously live in CA and NY and skew the national vote. I give not 2 shits and the rest of the country doesn't care either. We're going to remain a Republic and continue electing Presidents as we have since the EC was put in place, no matter how much crying comes from Shooksters like you.
Yikes, why don't you take a break from your phone for a bit you're absolutely frothing at the mouth you nutjob.
Preach it my civics brother!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resul..._Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum
the point went clear over your head. the left leaders have called to remove the electoral college. that would mean who ever got more votes wins regardless of who won which state. more people voted to leave the eu than stay. might want to brush up on your reading comprehension skills
The left only likes things that favor them, not when they are designed to 'balance out' a supermajority in one area.
The Brexit is the perfect example of how simple majorities fail.
That won't stop these Shook Chickens from wanting this nonsense. The crying over 2016 will only get louder.
As the saying goes... "Recount, change the rules, etc... until the Democrat wins."
I personally loved how Democrats argued the state of Texas rules should apply to Florida in 2000.
Oh no, youre wrong about that. UCFBS is a devoted lIbErTaRiAn. His party never does anything wrong because they never get in power. They are basically don't exist outside of the theoretical so they can't be criticized by either side. It's a great place to argue your superior stance because it never needs to be tested by reality. It's a great political party to be in if you want to pontificate.

UK and EU leaders stood on a stage in Brussels on Thursday and declared that a Brexit deal had, finally, been done.
they say they have a new deal, but we will see if it actually happens.

Yeah, pardon me but I'm not holding my breath. My money's on the Brits asking for yet another extension.
This is true but now it has to pass Parliament which has seemed like an impossible task
looks like boris johnson and his conservative party won big the other day. i guess most british people did in fact want to leave after all despite all the media coverage that they should stay.
This prompts a greater question: whatever happened to boob the citronut? He just up and disappeared like a fart in the night.
Oh, I know he's still in the Dungeon but he used to live in here for years. Same with @CommuterBob. Dudes left like someone kicked them out.
And by such a margin that should foretell the next election here with AOC moving the kkkcrats further to the left. Trump wins easily
What does that even mean? Britain went from being an Empire, to a crumbling empire, to joining the EU. This is will be the first time in modern history they are more or less operating simply as a completely independent island nation, so there is no "again".
It means they will once again be autonomous and free to make their own decisions.
