Unfortunately those who wish to protect democracy can be those who unwittingly undermine it. Worse still some are those who had been elected for the very purpose of defending it.
Take for example the current U.K. Prime Minister, her government, and its Opposition. They were all elected having promised to take the U.K. out of the E.U. Yet now that PM, that Government, and Opposition, that entire Parliament with its partial Speaker, act to Remain. Not only do they defy the clearly expressed wish of the Electorate they undermine democracy itself.
The behaviour is shameful.
Of course all of this is old hat. We know that if the U.K. is to survive then big change will have to come; Conservative and Labour parties are collapsing and the Liberals are long gone. The daily political scene is chaotic. Diversionary news is rife. The political machine is broken.
On the plus side the emergence of the Brexit Party has taken the Country by storm. Their success is measured not just by the thousands joining the movement, but perversely by the plethora of attempted character assassinations, unjustified ridicule, and unsupported assertions thrown about by Remainers. For when people lose the argument, and have nothing constructive to say, they resort to personal abuse.
