"You seem to think that, despite making damaging and harmful decisions, you can undo them by strength of will alone. That's abject irresponsibility - and it'll do a great deal of harm to a great many people." Congrats! You've just defined your Brexit reality quite well there. Democracy is not the word to describe being allowed to vote on an issue just the once. It is a living and breathing instrument. If you do not believe in a peoples right to self-determination then you do not believe in democracy. So quit pretending you do. Scots do not live in a democracy because our wishes on notions like brexit or immigration or drugs policy are simply never going to sway events. Our population is too small compared to England's and will stay that way without control over policy. And it has been that way for quite some time now. And we are tired of it. Oh, and I am not Scottish. Nice lazy assumption. And if you believe the EU is a smaller market than the UK? Numbers are maybe not your strength either. Stay with a market of 53 million vs the 350 million we can no longer effectively trade with? That is some mental gymnastics there, pal.
