Recent events have shown that we actually have very little democracy, and its possible that by the end of this year we will have no democracy at all.
As for "our western freedoms". Since the onset of the industrial revolution and the subsequent consumerism it brought, we have exchanged our personal freedoms, to a degree, for comfortable living.
For example, the comfort of travelling by car brings inevitable restrictions on freedom. I.e. the freedom to ignore traffic regulations etc. due to the possible harm we could cause to others by insisting on that level of freedom.
In the last 20 or so years our personal freedoms have been eroded to a much greater degree than ever before, since the Blair Govt.and the onset of globalism.
From the individuals point of view there was no good reason to give up the freedoms we have recently lost, but we weren't asked, they were just taken, and we were given packs of lies as reasons for losing them.
That is actually one of the reasons for the Brexit vote imo.
Oh yes indeed!!
There is absolutely no guarantee that all will not go backwards and we as a nation, and as a world, will lose our precious, very costly, won freedoms. It is down to us all, well certainly the new generations, to work hard to stop this happening.
