It's not supposed to be; I'm only even specifically using Brexit because it's what's sparked my pondering the nature of democracy itself, when it matters to people, when it doesn't, and what it's actually about. Is it about fluidly representing the will of the people? Or about "snapshots" like this one? Given the very changeable nature of opinion in an age with speed-of-light information and dominant, all encompassing media, do these snapshots actually mean anything at all? And if not, what IS modern democracy? Is it sustainable?
