For someone who used "christian minded" as an insult, you sure seem to have the air of denigrating superiority that some of them do.

I wish I shared your optimism regarding the general electorate's ability to recognize their best interests amid the disinformation campaigns and fear mongering.
I wouldn't say I'm optimistic but I would prefer difficult decisions be left to the hands of the electorate and we educate ourselves. Honestly neither (Referendum with fear campaigning, elected representative decision) is appealing but at least with a referendum vote we can blame ourselves.

Now that Cameron has resigned, what are the odds that Boris Johnson will be the new leader of the Conservative party and therefore Prime Minister? I've predicted that for several years now, but I never thought it would happen in this way. Boris is generally well-liked by his party, and he's just won a major political victory.

That sounds good, on paper...
But are you sure you want important decisions in the hands of the average person?
Do you know how efficient advertising is on the average person?

Oh yeah, he's the next Conservative leader for sure.
