Europe, Boring Until it's Not

[Martin Hash]

A Republic is simply voting based on geography. (I slam a homer on FB every time someone tries to make the distinction.)

There is no such thing as a direct democracy concerning most government policies that count. Brexit being the outlier there.

[Martin Hash]

Brexit has been fascinating. A 2% margin, OMG. Democracy sucks.

[TheReal_ND]

Direct democracy would have never seen the 1965 immigration act passed by the kike LBJ

[Martin Hash]

The fact that democracy has so many close votes shows how flawed a process it is.

Direct democracy has never been tried. Populism is poison for the plutocrats

Boris Johnson suspending parliament so he can get BREXIT done...………….. panic monkeys call it a Constitutional Crisis.

This is fascism

Funny you should say that.
Old one ball suspended the German Parliament and parallels are being drawn...

Not that a new government temporarily suspending Parliament is unconstitutional. It's perfectly normal for this to happen but what is clearly fuckery is the timing. The plan is to stop Parliament from passing a law to make a no-deal Brexit illegal by leaving only a week before the October 31st deadline to leave the EU.
It is a risky strategy though as it almost guarantees a vote of no confidence and a general election which is most likely to remove the Conservative party from power and instal Comrade Corbyn as supreme leader.
A Labour government or more likely a coalition government of Labour, Scottish Nationals, Liberal Democrats and the Greens will result in a second referendum.
This may well turn out to be a case of Boris shooting himself in the foot.

Not even the same as lil Adolph. Hitler suspended constitutional protections. Then the German parliament passed the Enabling Act later. It's a poor analogy when you compare it to Hitler and then you go on to say what Boris did is normal for the British government.

I hear that canard all the time: every local election is geographic-based direct democracy.

Oh yes. I always forget about all those local based federal elections.
