The Tyranny of a so-called majority wedded to madness

There can be few more stupid and fatuous statements than Theresa May’s claim that a second referendum on Brexit would be a betrayal of democracy. It demonstrates the childish grasp of politics that predominates within the Westminster class and shows that we really have reached the point where the dominant Brexit narrative from the leave lobby has established itself as what John Stuart Mill called ‘the tyranny of the majority’. It now stands as a form of bullying and is exposed as a fraud. It is this kind of asinine approach that allows people to claim that the referendum result demonstrated ‘the will of the people’. Mill himself told us that, in practical terms, the will of the people means ‘the will of the most numerous or the most active part of the people; the majority, or those who succeed in making themselves accepted as the majority’. Thus, when we consider ‘the people’ we must remember that this actually means the electorate as opposed to the population, and that the Leave vote of 51.89% on a 72.21% turnout in the referendum equalled 37.47% of the electorate. In other words, 37.47% of the British electorate have succeeded in their demand that they must be accepted as the majority of the population, that their decision is sacrosanct, and to oppose it is treason. Thus, the result of the referendum has suddenly appropriated the authority of a sacred text.

This is important for several reasons, first, in differentiating between the population and the electorate, it must be remembered that the government refused to extend the vote to those 16 to 18 years old’s who were included in the Scottish Independence referendum (and who numbered 1.46 million in the UK in 2016) despite being earnestly advised to do so. Also, the referendum was only ‘advisory’ according to the government as they were determined they would not be held to the result if they did not like it or by claims that the vote embodied ‘the will of the people’ if it went against them. In addition, the Electoral Commission has confirmed that the winning side achieved their goal illegally with Vote Leave, Leave UK and BeLeave all having openly broken electoral law. This should have declared the result null and void, and therefore goes to the heart of the British claim to be a nation of laws; can the future of the British people be dependent on a flagrant breach of the rule of law and can we be bound for time immemorial on the ‘advice’ of a minority of the population who reached their decision on a farrago of lies and criminality? If anything constitutes a betrayal of democracy, it is a government who are determined to proceed with an openly corrupt policy process in the full knowledge of that corruption.

In addition all recent polling data shows that many of those who expressed their will in 2016 have now changed their minds and their ‘will’ is now something quite different, a fact of life that the tyrannous majority quite happily ignore, and that is an abuse of both power and the democratic process heaped on top of the abuse of proceeding with a lie, a fraud and deliberate criminality. Thus, we are all now expected to quietly submit to the demand that we must accept the result of a process of illegality, lies, damned lies and statistics. It would be funny were it not so serious. Is it any wonder that the Brexit process is such an incompetent farce when the authors of the Brexit vote are such liars and criminals?

It would appear that America suffers from a similar complaint about an apparent majority, that is in fact a minority, exercising a tyranny over policy and the political process and threatening unrest if their 'will' is either challenged or thwarted, and who also appear to have gained their victory illegally. In 2016 the American election saw a turnout of only 55.3%. Of that 55.3% of the electorate, the White House Moron polled 46% giving him 25.4% of the possible vote. Hilary Clinton polled 26.5% of the possible vote. As the American Presidential election is a first past the post election, The Moron won the electoral college whilst in fact losing the vote, and so claims that he represents the majority and therefore 'the will of the people' just as our own Brexit gangsters do as well. The fault of course lies with that 44.7% of the electorate who couldn't be bothered to vote.

That the Moron is demonstrably insane is too obvious to challenge, but what is so worrying is that just as a significant section of the British seem oblivious to the madness and lies of the Brexiteers, especially the Spider, so a significant sector of the American people are either oblivious, or simply don't care, that their president is a lunatic. The following is part of a speech given by The Moron in July 2016 at a venue in South Carolina, in a place called Sun City. This is a word-for-word transcript of a section of his speech

“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

That passage not only displays, but is, genuine insanity. This is in his own words. How can anyone who attended that speech support, let alone applaud, such demonstrable gibberish? Were they not listening? This demonstrates better than anything else that the American president is a gibbering bombastic charlatan who is incapable of rational narrative, or of even finishing a complete sentence, without an autocue. As I keep saying, the British and American people are in a very dark place at this moment in history and it is getting darker. Both the Conservatives and the Republicans have sold their souls and, because of the crisis they find themselves in, are becoming more intolerant and tyrannical. British politics are quite insane and completely irrational just now and are a reflection of the leading elites. In both of our nations we are seeing the ghosts of the 1930's rising up to haunt us. The future is in your hands and you cannot say that you never saw it coming. You have been warned
