That is why we don't govern by accepting populist views based on gut reaction without weighing up all the facts . Instead we elect representatives who weigh up all the pros and cons before making their decision. The alternative is government by referendum which flies in the face of all that is right and good with our long established parliamentary tradition. That would be madness. Oh wait a minute -

The Swiss have government by referendum mostly, and they're doing a lot better than us. And they've never been in the EU.Originally posted by Kilgore trout View PostComment

You are entitled to your opinion . However, the U.K. has one of the oldest Parliamentary democracies that has worked pretty well until now a model on which many others have based theirs. Switzerland one of the richest countries in the world have a pretty unique system. It's expensive and slow and a lot of laws aren't passed . Interestingly on the very rare occasion a privately suggested bill was passed by referendum and Canton approval it was a very right wing anti immigration bill.Originally posted by Jupiter View Post
Most people concede that Capital punishment would be reintroduced if it was put to public vote. There are enough Daily Mail readers out there to make it happen. Just because the majority of the populous agree on a single policy in no way makes it the right thing to do in every circumstance.
You vote a party into government not because you support everyone of their policies. You are giving them a mandate to govern in a way they consider to be in the country's best intererests. You have to trust them to do that. If the public is unhappy they have the power to vote them out next time aroundComment

I haven't been following this story because I withdrew from the outside world some time ago but.
If we have de citizenised these two and allowed them to be subject to the barbaric tendencies of an uncivilised country then it sets an appaling precedent.Comment

Timmy Mallet is a kind of Dons fan too. He used to take his bro to Pittodrie when he was in Aberdeen at his care home
I genuinley hope he gets it back. I work with a Hartlepool fan who befriended him at a Pools v Oxford(Timmys main team) game and said you cannot meet a nicer bloke
Hope he gets it backComment
