Isn’t the point of voting to give up the freedom to act as you would have had you won the vote when you’ve lost the vote?
No that isn't the point of it at all. I act exactly the same in both cases.
Take Brexit for example. Before Brexit I said it was stupid. And after Brexit it I said it was stupid just as much as I would have if Brexit had lost.
And in the UK I think the conservatives are stupid whether they win or lose.
