You know , all my life I have lived in what I considered to be a democracy . In the many times I have voted I have abided by the outcome ,win or lose , and that was simply down to the belief that that is the fair and , although sometimes unpalatable , correct thing to do.
When I think of the numerous times in my life I have read and listened to reports of disaffected and disillusioned voters in third world and what I considered to be corrupt and disinfranchised countries who had their winning democratic vote stolen from them by an unscrupulous and amoral opposition and I gave it little more than a passing thought.
I can now genuinly feel their anger and distress at being denied a basic human right .
I am utterly ashamed at being British at this moment , ashamed at witnessing the devious, self centered machinations of a group of elected representatives who arrogently deny and thwart the will of the majority vote in a supposidly democratic nation.
Their " I know better than you " attitude is unforgivable and reflective of a society devoid of principles or honour .
I have no doubt that this new sociopolitical approach will be repeated on other voting results by the ignoble members of the HOC and their renewed and much more dictatorial superiors in brussels .
And when it does I hope they feel the fury that I feel right now .
Damn them all.
