re: #1410 obdicut

No, it shows the behavior of one person, and by extrapolating from that, you’re committing an error.

I hope you are correct, but I have been seeing more and more anecdotal evidence over the last few years that those who regard themselves as the Cultural/Academic/Political elite do in fact regard the citizens of their countries as ignorant and beneath them.

This is even more evident in the UK and the European nations, where their political betters have pressed on with building an EU superstate while denying their citizens even a referendum on the issue of giving up national sovereignty.

A no vote or lack of interest in a policy favoured by the political elites is not taken as the will of the people, rather, it is termed as the government failing to get the message across, failing to educate the people, and thus they made the wrong vote and that must be corrected.
