Right. So politicians are our delegates and do as we instruct them and referenda are 100% binding. Ok, got it.

I personally find it sad that you feel that all those that voted to leave aren't very bright , are right-wing extremists and your views are the only ones worth having No-one is forced to read my posts either. There are many now who I cannot be bothered with. You are quite wrong though. I don't feel that ALL those who voted leave aren't very bright or are right wing extremists or, indeed that only my views matter. As a democrat I believe that every view matters and that we have a duty to express it at every GE. I do though think that it is most likely that anyone who could be regarded as a "right-wing extremist", or even on the hard right, would vote to leave. It seems in their DNA to think that the EU is an evil empire of socialists determined to create a European super state. However that doesn't cover many people who decided to vote to leave. I know lots of folk who did and they are all decent, intelligent and nice people who are my friends. Their reasons were varied, but worries about immigration featured a lot in the beginning, but less so now. A lot were influenced by the claims about what we could do with the "money we would save". The most powerful though seemed to be that old chestnut that anything must be better than this. The idea that any change is better than no change has been a strong political motive for a long time. Sure some like to hang on to the status quo, and fear change, but in the run up to the referendum the idea that we could dump "otherness" and return to the good old days before austerity seemed louder to me, especially within the older age groups. Of course I disagreed with them, and still do, but that doesn't mean I think any the less of them. Many don't take as much interest in politics as I do and rely on their daily dose of the Telegraph, Express, Sun or Mail to get their "information".

Harman, was an official in the 'National Council for Civil Liberties'. alongside her husband who became a Labour front bench MP and Patricia Hewitt, a former Labour Cabinet minister under Tony Blair, and they all worked for the council in the 1970s. In 1975, the campaign group – which lives on today as human rights watchdog Liberty – granted official “affiliate” status to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), a body which lobbied openly for child sex.
