Implementing the Will of the People

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Mr Corbyn, leader of the opposition in Parliament, has claimed that it would be an anti democratic abuse of power should the government remove the United Kingdom from the European Union while an election campaign is underway.

I can understand if Mr Corbyn thinks such removal undesirable but I fail to see how it can be anti-democratic. This claim is sophistry. The people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU on 23 June 2016 – more than three years ago, and if anything is an abuse of power and anti-democratic it is the fact three years later the UK has not left the EU. OK, leaving the EU would be complicated and would take time but three years?

The vote was a tight run thing, but that is no reason to discount it. There are many whose prosperity will be adversely affect by the UK leaving the EU, and that too is no reason avoid implementing the vote.

Either we are a democracy or we are not a democracy. If we are a democracy then we must implement the will of the people, even if the people’s will might make us poorer or create some inconveniences. Of course, once we have left there is nothing to prevent political parties campaigning in the next election to re-join the EU, and if those parties so campaigning win enough seats the UK will rejoin the EU – that is how democracy works.

Democracy might well be inconvenient, unwise, unsound economically, foolish, raucous, troublesome, exasperating, loathsome, appalling and have all sorts of other undesirable features but it is the least worse system of government that we have discovered and infinitely better than rule by dictatorship, autocracy, or monarchy, or oligarchy, or bureaucracy, or by the military, or by a select and privileged coterie of like minded people determined to impose their will on the people they govern.
