Strangely enough, Blair's comment applies even more so, to those who voted for Scottish Independence. Not even the simple matter of which currency to use, wasn't settled or presented.
Yes. The same could be said of the Iraq war which was clearly voted on under false pretences for reasons best known to Bliar and his powerful mates. Maybe there ought to be a mass uprising against that.
