It's not democracy is that.

Democracy is what is currently happening in Iceland.

A fringe party called the pirate party are on track to win the upcoming election.

Seems fair enough to me if they are going to be directly affected.

I competely agree - as I've said - the EU is IMHO now composed of too many competing voices.

"the pirate party are on track to win the upcoming election" - Aaaaaaaaarrrre they?

The way May was talking at conference it seemed as though she thought that Britain had voted Brexit by a landslide rather than a slim majority.



Well, welcome to true democracy where one man equals one vote. Funny how the Remoaners who lost fail to acknowledge true democracy at work.

Winning is winning, whether you win by an inch or a mile!

As for CETA, it proves that Democracy guarantees the voice of the minority.

But that isn't trickily true in this case is it?
The ballot was for staying or leaving and it was incredibly close. So that would indicate that a lot of people still want close ties to the EU.

BTW Remoaners is not a word, I think you meant, 'people who voted not to leave'.
Just goes to show how clued up the masses are.


But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
