What is it with the Brits and an inability to do elections right these days. First they screw up the proportional representation referendum. Then the Scots mistakenly choose Remain (which wasn't an error at the time, but became one with Brexit). Then they Brexited, ironically because they want more control and accountability but rejected prop rep. And now this shemozzle.
The rest of the world should take away the UK's voting rights until they promise to behave!
- ionised 9y agoAs a Brit I have observed a large section of the population seem to suffer from an acute and decades-long case of Stockholm Syndrome. Much of the populace would prefer to suffer the indignities and gradual erosion of prosperity and civil liberties inflicted on them by their ruling classes than to risk an uncertain future on a potential change. They are comfortable in their mistreatment.
