'The glee of the No vote is nauseating. The public voted for hanging. Any believer in democracy wants the public verdict acted on, not sabotaged.'
What anarchy has to do with it, I don't know. We might all have preferred systems, but we're talking about - or more to the point, living in - the one we have and the claim is that the Leave vote, such as it is, should be upheld because it's 'democracy'. It couldn't be clearer.
So it's a really straightforward question on the principle illustrated by the comment I quote, but no straight answer. In its place a question implying that I'm likely against democracy, which is obfuscation.
I think it's obvious that the principle inherent in the phrase 'Any believer in democracy wants the public verdict acted on, not sabotaged.' is an advocate position on democracy and as such must apply to all public votes, not just the ones you happen to agree with.
