Representation of the People

Post by Royal24s »

Since the last English Civil War, we have resolved matters of politics and public policy by means of democratic voting and all parties have abided by the outcome of the vote.
It appears that this is no longer acceptable to many politicians and a small minority of the public, so how else shall we resolve such matters in future ?

I wish Scotland would start the next British civil war since we started the last one.

Yeah, well actually why don't they do the same and claim the majority didn't understand what they voted for in the referrendum on independence ?
Or they could start inventing objections to some deal or no deal which wasn't in the question but they now claim changes the result .
