🇹🇼 organized a fair legal referendum on gay marriage and there was a clear result, a "NO" to it.

WTF are you even doing here when you don't believe in the will of the people?

I just don't understand how you can view taiwan making gay marriage legal as the same thing as china putting muslims in concentration camps

Just like 🇪🇺 and 🇬🇧 organized a referendum on whether 🇬🇧 should leave the EU and, well, there was a clear result too.

Any country that rejects the outcome of a fair and legal referendum is NOT a democracy. 🇨🇳 is not a democracy, 🇹🇼 and 🇬🇧 aren't either.

🇬🇧 MIGHT become a democracy again IF and only IF Brexit becomes a reality. Any half-step, any 2nd voting, any fucking bullshit they've been trying to push should result on people lining up politicians and shooting them in the head because that's what being an actual enemy of the people is.

Politicians MUST follow the will of the people.

It's not a "should" kind of thing, it's absolutely mandatory, it's their only purpose.

but they dont!

If voting is useless, it's time to start with the shooting thingy.

🇹🇼 is not a democracy, it's at 🇨🇳's level.

Just like I accept when people vote for gay marriage even if I don't like it, I feel politicians and just the people should also accept when people vote against it.

again making gay marriage legal despite people saying no =/= china putting muslims into concentration camps along with other human rights violations

I don't understand how you don't get that politicians almost never follow up on what they say

I don't care if 🇨🇳 is *worse*. Being a democracy is a mostly-absolute kind of thing. Either you are or you are not.

but its not there is no 100% pure full democracy sure some come close but most aren't close

As long as you don't nullify referendums, have regular elections and all that you should be fine.

I don't need a referendum for every little thing but, whenever there is one, the will of the people is above everything.

That's why I respect Theresa May: she is a fucking Remainer but she has worked as best as she knows to make Brexit happen.

Theresa May believes in democracy.

She wasn't successful and maybe she could've done more... but she worked for something she didn't believe in because people voted for it.

She has tried to do what pussyboy Cameron didn't have the balls to do.

Every single British MP that is pushing for a re-referendum or for Brexit to vanish should be at least put in jail.

@.drib I am for gay marriage but I cannot defend, let alone support forcing it through when it conclusively failed a referendum.

Fuck me, eCUNTden is agreeing with me.

I know what Chinese people have to put up with, this isn't anything like as bad, but it is still indefensible.

One of the keys of democracy is that politicians must serve its people and that includes obeying whatever a proper referendum says.

Imagine a national election, some congressmen lose their seats and then they refuse to leave.

I much prefer the way Americans do it, the constitutional convention, but referendums are way better than the alternative.

Although states can have referendums for certain things. What I like about constitutional amendments is how strong they are.

I'm very disappointed that the normalization of depravity and degenerate sexual practices has penetrated the US conservative circles. In 2039 the GOP will be arguing how the Neo-Leninists are the real transphobes. Don't try to beat the left at their own game

correct

2055: senators will be allowed one catamite each. for democratic senators, this will be mandatory.

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE = The center-right has gained quite some ground in this regional+local elections.
Not all regions had to vote but the center-right recovered some nice places.

based

And they've also recovered the "capital del reino". Madrid is gonna be led by a coalition made of center-right and true-right.

The center-right and true-right have promised that the whole "anti-car" policies are gonna stop right away.

The alt-left lost, let's just zoom in on a lady famous for getting almost-naked in a church while shouting "We'll burn you down like in 1936".
