Are you happy that this is how government works in our country? I'm not. The referendum for the EU was an example of how I prefer government to work... put ideas to the people and let them decide. To then reject that will is worse than outright dictatorship. It's pretending we're democratic when we're not. I'd rather just know we're in a dictatorship.
Our entire political system needs an overhaul. There is no party that represents me. Most people feel this way. Most people vote for the least worst option, according to their blinkered view of what each party represents. No party truly represents the people, though each party pretends to. Politicians are only interested in their career, which mans they will say whatever it takes to secure votes.
The opposition provides critique
It shouldn't. It should oppose bad plans, and support good plans. But this isn't how it works. When the Tories say something, it's Labour's reflex to say the opposite. And vice versa. The result is a shitshow that causes division amongst the people and harms everyone.
Had Labour said "we oppose leaving the EU, however we have voted for it so we will reluctantly support it" then they'd have my vote. One day, maybe this is how politics will work in this country. I'm not holding my breath.
