Why are the only two options "everyone gets a vote" or "live under a dictator"? This is exactly the sort of black and white unable to think in any shades of grey bullshit which makes Arsenal debate so crappy.
The principle of democracy sounds great. One man (or woman, I suppose), one vote. And in an election...who really knows who is going to best represent us, to an extent one option is as good (or bad) as another. But in a referendum on a complicated topic, it would be nice to think that people have actually thought about the issues at hand.
If you need medical advice what do you do, start a poll on Facebook and see what your mates think or talk to some doctors?
Brexit is a complicated issue. If we did get to the right decision then it will be because a load of people believed a bus, not wise analysis of all the issues from a discerning British public.
Your mates might get the medical treatment right, given 2 options, but if they did it would be dumb luck, not because they know what they're talking about,
