@Storin Not true in the slightest.

tbh the uk was one of the slowest nation to adopt anything resembling democracy

fucking france became democratic before the uk

Literally had 3 civil wars over this, many religious wars, a couple of world wars, and the biggest vote in our democratic hsitory 3 years ago, that was reinforced with the GE not 3 weeks ago <:shrug:349342983763656705>

<:thistbh:582698435896147978>

so your nation is incompetent and cant keep its government in order

😉

The parliamentary system is weird. And it’s even weirder in the UK.
I wouldn’t say it’s more democratic that the US.

Disagree. Germany was later than the UK and Russia as well

@Storin Excluding the fact the UK isn't a democracy but a constitutional monarchy.

Actually our government is answerable to people far more than most nations <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>

@Sham00e mixed bag

If you don't believe that ask Corbyn <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

germany has had democratic states since before england existed

Germany is the least democratic in Europe imo

germany wasnt in a united form till late so it shouldnt be counted

same thing with italy, very very old democratic states

the volk law is more important than individual sovereignty

Anyways the argument of "regional representation" is quite braindead

People vote, not land

the thought of people like andrew being able to vote is braindead

If more people live in area x than area y then area x should obviously have a bigger say in the democratic process

yeah is that how that works andrew?

The UK is definitely the most advanced in this regard, but that is probably because we've been pushing it since the days of Magna Carta <:shrug:349342983763656705>

so does that mean that those people should have greater say on for example how the government spends its money?

However it isn't perfect and is definitely flawed still

so does that mean that they have a greater say on where the government allocates its budget?

I call BS on that. IF democracy was enforced in the UK the overwhelming majority of policies/decisions wouldn't have happened.

so does that mean that they can spend more on roads for the cities than in the country?

despite the need of the country being greater?

"Greater say on for example how the government spend its money" this is pointless lmao

NAh Kizza

one of many examples and it shows that literal equal representation is retarded

see the issue is you are thinking direct democracy, direct democracies don't work

Did the majority of the UK vote/support joining the EEC in 1972??

"yeah fuck fixing that bridge, this city street has pot holes that need filling"

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

You need some form of representation however direct democracy should be invoked on soul or constitutional changing events- ie BRexit

@Storin Name one example of it not working??
