You know the big question here is will the UK learn.
There are serious issues concerning our democracy that need addressed.
We need to consider what we can do to stop political campaigns based on pure lies. The leave campaign, even after it’s number one campaign claim was demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt not to be true – continued to push the 350 million pound a week lie.
There has to be some form of accountability in campaigning.
Further there is our parliament itself. Theresa May has not understood the basics of minority government.
We have a parliament in the UK designed to produce a majority government every five years. But for almost ten years it has failed to do so.
Our parliamentarians seem unable to work across party lines. This is something that comes almost naturally right across Europe and indeed here in Scotland.
It’s quite something to see 27 countries, with all their differing culture and languages repeatedly uniting on these issues, yet one country, the UK, cannot get it’s act together. So much so that now the 27 are dictating the agenda in the UK. Nursing the hopless patient.
It is surely time to move away from majority government – which is effectively a 5 year dictatorship, not only to engage the public in making every vote count, but by forcing our parliamentarians to put the country before party.
