It is a fallacy to suppose British citizens gained rights by diluting their votes with tens of millions of European votes. That is a loss of rights, not a gain.

It is a fallacy to suppose British citizens gained rights by diluting their votes with tens of millions of European votes. That is a loss of rights, not a gain. As an elected official, I know first hand that the smaller the population of my constituency, the more responsive I can and must be.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoThe smaller the population of your constituency, the more responsive you can be to the individuals in your consistency, but the less money and influence you have to actually address their needs. In the US, there's a reason national politics tends to get more attention and news coverage than state politics, much less city/county politics. (In this case, I genuinely think that local politics receives too little attention, but that's neither here nor there.)
