Gina Miller: the Brexit judgment isn’t a victory for me, but for our constitution
Switzerland - Regular referenda are held. People can demand these at any time. The result immediately becomes law and public policy.
Britain - A referendum on the EU is held; this is the first time that the public has had a direct say into anything meaningful for decades (elections aren't meaningful).
Once the referendum has occurred, millions of people start crying about it and state that the result shouldn't count for anything (although they would never have done this if the result had been the opposite).
Someone with an obvious vested interest starts a court case.
The court predictably rules against the people and in favour of the establishment.
This is greeted as a victory for 'our constitution'.
Now the politicians who have been caught outright lying God knows how many times, and who swear an Oath of Allegiance to the Crown never to the electorate, will make this decision, not the people.
This is supposedly a victory for democracy.
Anyone who isn't happy about this state of affairs is told to vote at the next election, although I live in a very safe Tory seat and there is literally no point in me ever voting, even if I thought it was remotely worthwhile. This applies to tens of millions of people, who will never get any say whatsoever in anything that happens in their lives.
People wave flags, although there is some confusion over whether they should be waving the EU flag or the Union Jack.
We're such fucking sheep. We deserve everything that we get, apart from the people at the absolute bottom of society, on benefit and eating out of food banks, who don't deserve to suffer. The rest of us deserve every ignominy of our existence.
