I just like to stroll about picking things up, have a wee look at them and then wander on. It is the pleasure of finding things that are both ugly and beautiful. I think the reason I have a Blog is to do many different things; make comments, try to understand concepts, and not to be too tidy. It might seem like disconnected jottings, well you would be correct and that suits me.

What is the point of having a Parliamentary system? Should we go to a Switzerland system where policy is decided by Referendum? I believe in the Parliamentary system where each party at an election has a manifesto of policies and when they win that election gives them democratic rites to carry out that manifesto. This recent Referendum was not a binding referendum it was an advisory one yet the decision regardless if it was remain or leave is being treated as if it was bindin...g. So what does an advisory Referendum mean to the present Government? It was leave and Cameron resigned. Why? He should have placed the result to Parliament and they should have discussed and decided the way forward. Parliament is in control of the UK not a Referendum which was advising Parliament of how people felt on the 23rd of June. Cameron panicked and showed his lack of understanding of the Referendum he generated. Do you wonder why so many people who voted leave and voted remain are up in arms because they were fooled into believing the importance of their vote in this referendum. The campaign was hopeless on either side they should have clearly emphasised the advisory nature of this referendum. Many people who longed to leave the EU have thought their vote of Leave is being un justifiably challenged by people who voted Remain and some who voted Leave are confused because they did not see it was a permanent decision which it is not. Many people walked in London today to try and make the Government have another referendum. I blame Cameron for causing this confusion. What we have now is an advisory Referendum which was a mistake to have in the first place treated as a permanent Referendum which can be legally challenged. Only when Parliament will be able to make this decision permanent will be through MPs voting. It is their choice through being democratically elected to accept or reject the advise of this referendum. What a mess.
