Quite the contrary, I am open to discussing pro-Brexit articles. Please can you share some authoritative articles and we can see what evidence and information they base their conclusions on.
About the democratic bit: your certainty is predicated on the assumption that your beliefs and wishes are correct and there is no possibility of you being wrong.
Well I am sorry to disappoint. History is littered with cases where democracies have been duped into making what, retrospectively, would now be considered the wrong choice. For example, only yesterday, Brazil elected a far right candidate who:
Jair Bolsonaro: Far-right candidate wins Brazil poll
Quote:
He has the past defended the killing of opponents to the country's former military regime and said he is "in favour of dictatorship".

In one infamous incident in 2015 he told a fellow lawmaker she was too ugly to rape.
One of his flagship policies is to restore security by relaxing gun laws and suggested that "every honest citizens" should be able to own a gun.
He has promised to reduce state intervention in the economy and indicated that Brazil could pull out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change.
