Yes isn't it great that we live in a democracy, and have the population decide which direction they would like the country to go in.
- the_mitsuhiko 5y agoUnfortunately you only have one country and it hosts a population that’s split right in the middle on that issue.
- piva00 5y agoSure, but as far as I understand democracy, for it to really work you need well informed citizens. I would say that metric isn't trending up in most countries on Earth at this moment.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoAgreed, but hasn't that always been the case? I'm not sure a better solution exists either. Perhaps a series of questions before you're allowed to vote that tests your understanding of the principles of the choices you are voting for? Also I'm guessing you are suggesting that voters who voted leave where uniformed? (Please correct me if I'm wrong). I still don't believe that to be the case. The run up to the election there was wall-to-wall coverage on the subject across TV, radio and the internet.
