Conservatives aren't that on either side of the Atlantic. Witness current reality.
That's a darn shame. They need smarter voters.
I guess we need to find a way of getting rid of them. Good luck with that.Conservatives aren't that on either side of the Atlantic. Witness current reality.

You might want to take a look at this map if you think it was only northern England that voted for Brexit

Apparently David Cameron still doesn’t regret calling for the referendum. He is either incredibly dishonest or incredibly stupid.
He's both.

No, this isn't what we want. We want democratically elected leaders, or in other words, a democratic republic. I personally am largely opposed to the use of ballot measures, because these are pure democracy. The purpose of a republic is that an average citizen doesn't have time, particularly in today's complex world, to research and understand the ramifications of complex legislation. This was particularly evident with Brexit. The average voter was clueless about what it would mean to leave the European Union. This is why we instead elect leaders that then represent our general interests. Eliminating the electoral college would not make America cease to be a republic.52% get what they want, 48% can go to hell wearing gasoline underwear. This is what we want, unconstrained democracy, a direct vote by the people to choose their path forward.
Nah, he's just extremely privileged. And hence completely insulated from the concquences of his actions. Hence he doesn't _need_ to regret anything. I guess privilege is a form of stupidity in a way. If people can afford to be stupid, they will be.
His idiocy comes in thinking that he'll be insulated from what will come about due to his enabling (and thus validating) the rage of the idiots he's played. It was fueled by his idiocy that his dishonesty would go unnoticed, when that was what was actually fueling that rage.
Sorry, don't care (nor do I have any clue why you put so much effort into trying to defend his stupidity, especially after you said you wouldn't, let alone with that tripe, yes yes blah blah a fish thinks its stupid because it can't climb trees and holy shit are you seriously fucking defending him by trying to claim I'm talking about Eugenics? WHAT THE FUCK?). Cameron is stupid for having pushed for the referendum (and for not doing a goddamn thing about the lies that the shitspewers in the ranks of the conservatives were fine with pushing), and he let his stupidity (that him and the conservatives hadn't fueled enough hatred that people might just vote to leave), blind himself (he thought he'd get to point to that rage as reason why the EU should make even more concessions for these fucking idiots still trying to live off the British Empire mindset, and big surprise he instead just fucked a pig on TV and now expects the rest of the country to fuck that pig with him).
I hope it bites him hard. Just because he is privileged to have a lower likelihood of experiencing the suffering that far too many people do, well I don't believe in karma, but there's a lot of people like him that end up miserable all the same directly because of their own actions. We'll see what his place in history is to be, I think he has an idea of where it might end up based on him trying to slink into the shadows hoping people forget he was the one that instigated this. It could get even worse too. I won't be surprised if a couple decades down the road he's considered worse than Chamberlain (his saving grace is that Tony Blair is near enough, and then Theresa May and whomever ends up taking over the conservatives is likely to be an even bigger piece of shit; but if they keep fucking around and end up with a no deal Brexit and possibly an extra pissed of EU because of their stupid shenanigans, that his role will likely be solidified as there'll probably be a constant chaotic mix of leaders and none of them well liked but people also understanding that because Cameron decided to have them fuck the pig, that well they weren't really the ones to blame for their shitty situation). Poor bastard thought he might could be a modern enlightened Thatcher. Too bad he's too stupid to realize that ideology fuels the shittiness and that Thatcher was in the way of progress and trying to couple progress with his ideology is just going to lead to incredibly stupid shit like Brexit. Which, no, he's not totally stupid in all ways, he could see it. But because he is stupid, thought he wasn't leading down the same road. And in so doing he might have started them on the path to something worse. London Calling to the zombies of death, quit holding out and draw another breath! Let's hope some form of sanity reigns before then.
That's quite an over-excited wall-of-text, there. You seem very confused. All over the place, politically (like a few posters here). Not sure why you think that not going in for dodgy snobbish ideologies about 'intelligence' constitutes 'defending' Cameron. Do you not realise how the concept of 'intellgience' gets used? And why do you want to let him off the hook by excusing his actions as being down to 'stupidity'?
Says the person that wrote an equally long "wall of text" (psst, its only a wall of text if there's no breaks and often little punctuation such that just simply discerning distinct statements becomes difficult).
