We were pretty good, now we are dire. Bury your head and sing Jerusalem but how can a country hurtling towards autocracy,which is already more easily described as a meritocracy than a democracy be anything but?...
We have too many representatives with a conflict of interest, who are glorified lobbyists or who are simply biding their time before shuffling to a cushy corporate position.

Just like many opposed to Brexit are so because of their own financial interests - business and personal.

Money will always be a motivator in business and to the ambitious, nothing will change that. To suggest other Western politicians are any different is naive, but we are still a democracy despite how many would like to change that. Most want to keep it that way.

Considering your views on Brexit I find your comments ironic given you would be quite happy to overturn a democratic public vote when it suits. That would be the start of a very slippery slope and potentially the beginning of the end for democracy in Britain, playing right into the hands of some.
