The howl against democracy

We care ... when we hear about it. There is always lots of info and updates leading up to the election. Everybody cheers the result. Then there is zero fanfare or media attention when the new law is being challenged in court months later. Then it is years while the law is not implemented because the Court issued a stay pending litigation. Then politicians come and go and the people “defending” the law in court have no skin in the game because they aren’t the ones that pushed it in the election years earlier.

Prop 187 passed by a 59% to 41% landslide in 1994 under Guv Pete Wilson. The libs kept it in Court until 1999 when the new Guv was Gray Davis, who dropped the appeals. It was two years after it passed and we assumed it was being implemented, before I even heard it was still held up in the courts — the media blackout before the internet was easy to manage with libs controlling print and broadcast news. The idea that anybody could successfully set aside the lawful and commonsense decision of a landslide of voters just never occurred to me.

The fact that nobody seems to think the BREXIT results can be set aside is kind of reassuring, but I’ve seen much more clear-cut votes disappear into the courts and never happen. I half expect to hear that the UK High Court or Queen’s Bench or whatever has decided the whole referendum was illegal and sets it aside.

Brendan O'Neill nails it once again.

I sure hope the Great Unwashed --- the English common people --- hang tough. When the elites try to force them down, hand them their coiffed or crowned heads on a platter.

I speak metaphorically.

Of course.

But the English people have to react fast and hard against any attempted official skulduggery --- because the elites aren't used to losing.
