re: #171 Jay C

Most people (here or in Britain) aren’t/weren’t. The Brexit referendum wasn’t legally binding, but a disgracefullly large segment of their political establishment decided to treat it that way in order to try to exploit the Leave sentiments (mainly greed, exploitation and racist xenophobia, IMO: dressed up in “nationalism” as an excuse) for political advantage.
And we can see how that’s worked out…

They use the argument that backing out of it would somehow “damage democracy”.
