Comments by "David Getling" (@DavidGetling) on "“I’m Against Referendums Under All Circumstances” | Peter Hitchens On Migration Referendum" video.

Peter Hitchens is being completely illogical (or disingenuous?) when he comes out against referendums. The most basic idea of democracy is that the government is chosen by the majority of the people, to serve the people. But, as any competent mathematician knows. The ONLY guaranteed situation in which this works is when there are only two parties to choose from: and when the vote is purely based on number of votes cast and not how boundaries are drawn. So, in fact, nothing could be fairer, and better represent the will of the majority than a referendum, in which there are precisely two choices.
