Fuck what the people want.
Switzerland is a direct democracy in which the laws of the land are determined almoust directly by it`s people. As a result Switzerland was the last country in Europe to abolish the death penalty, it was the last country in Europe to give women the right to vote and up to the 1979 having a child out of wedlock was a criminal offense and pregnant women in that state were forced to have an abortion and in some cases even steralised.
"What the people want" is almoust always to be actualy read as "What a dumbfuck cowfucking, wifebeating, childabusing, racist redneck scumbag animal wants"
Transparecy and an isight into why a governements decisions are made ensure public trust in a goverment since people are no longer excluded from not seeing the "decision making process".
Britian is simply a weird place with a even more idiotic system of governemt.
It has no constitution and is literaly a theocracy since legaly the countries monarch is "appointed by god".
It`s trash and tits tabloid media practicaly dictates public policy of governemnt and opposition.
It`s parlaiment is filled and flooded with various interest groups causing the reasons for actions being undertaken to be rather shady.
And yet when a Brit talks about democracy he assumes that every single place in the entire world is like his overprized appartment in the middle of some horribly smelly road in the middle of nowhere.
It is a UK problem. Not a global problem. Political decisions in my country are ade in a parlaiment. Decisions in the UK are made at a privatedinner, at an expensive restaurant, far away from the public eyes with the primeminster. Like Rupert Murdock did with Thatcher and many others before and after. And that is the problem in that country and all it`s citizens seem to be capable of is to loathe and whine and cry and bitch arround and blame other instead of getting a grip of themselves and working on themselves.

Thats authoritarian and therefor rejected.
