The benefit was always going to be, we vote for people who make the decisions, in the EU, we were tied to decisions that were imposed on us. It was always about democracy for me and always will be.
Sorry Walshes, that is complete and utter gullible and simplistic nonsense you have swallowed hook, line and sinker.
You could say that about Wolverhampton Council, The West Midlands version, the lack of an English regional or ´national´ government as in Wales and Scotland, and at UK level with the wretched Houses of Parliament first past the post system and the house of ´Lords and Ladies´.
Furthermore, the UK has no formal Constitution and it is one of only TWO countries with reserved places for members of the state religion. The other is Iran. To finish that you could also add the riotously undemocratic roles of the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church which is headquartered in a foreign state and to which many UK citizens owe their first allegiance. i could also never vote on aspects of Jewish or Sharia law as implemented in some parts of the UK where I have lived either.
As for making democratic decisions when the royal family has to be consulted/negotiated with BEFORE, DURING and AFTER any law is put through parliament.....
And, this is the country that most people cannot name properly and which has attacked more countries than any other in human history, at 171 out of around 200. I guess we were democratically elected to invade them.
I won´t bother to comment further on the role and tools of the Establishment in guiding us into submission.
`We vote for people who make the decisions, we were tied to decisions that were imposed on us`.
Sadly, that is a completely laughable statement from someone who can write well and should know better.
I speak as a UK ´subject´ not ´citizen´ who was not allowed to vote in that wretched Brexit process.
Come on Walshes, think about it rather than churn out stuff like you have today.
