    And a lot of people you obviously didn't agree with. Can't say I supported neither Trump nor Brexit but at least I think I can see that it was democratic even if they weren't my choices: people were angry and scared and voted accordingly.

  How not both? You are forced to comply with the law, even if it is democratically legitimized.

  When the voters were made promises about 350 million per week to the NHS, that was backtracked on within hours of the result, do you really consider it democratic?

    On the flip-side, we were also promised a punishment budget, higher interest rates and the end of western civilization. I think it's rather snooty of you to think that the plebs who didn't agree with you don't know how to distinguish fact from fiction.

      Where did I say that I didn't agree with them? I am merely pointing out that the lies before the referendum made it pretty undemocratic.

  Sure. You can argue that it was democratic, but I personally do not choose to lose my citizenship, therefore my citizenship is being taken from me, forcibly.
