I doubt 33 million people sought to educate themselves on all of those matters.
So what. They don't have to educate themselves. They have a right of a vote, regardless of choice or reason. They don't need to explain why they voted.

It'd have closer policy outcomes to what the majority want, rather than satisfying a minority of the people with a majority Government.

Compromise - I know that notion died in 2016 - would be the result. Either way I'm only pointing out that in the UK FPTP, an unelected House of Lords and an ineffective Head of State leave us some distance from what could be considered democracy.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1

Point of order - our head of state is not ineffective. The monarch does her job perfectly well. Electing a head of state to the constitutional and ceremonial role occupied by the monarch wouldn’t do anything to make the role more politically active (which is what you appear to be confusing with effectiveness). To do that we would have to make deep constitutional changes and create an executive presidency after the American or French model. I don’t find that idea especially attractive.

She literally sat there and had to carry forward illegal advice from a Prime Minister. Totally ineffective in a role that could and should perform an important check and balance against an incompetent executive.

Totally agree. Shows how irrelevant the current incumbent is in today's world.

It was only deemed "illegal" (and I'm not sure if illegal is the right word, as no law was broken) when the supreme court judged simply that parliament had not been prorougued.

If you want to be pedantic I don’t care for the distinction between illegal and unlawful.

She was unable to take separate legal advice from that of the a Government hence she was completely ineffective which was my exact point.

Your subservient mind may not be able to see the obvious however many of us can.

It wasn't illegal but it was unlawful and that wasn't so until the Supreme Court ruled on it so the Queen's actions were perfectly correct at the time of asking. As for ineffective many people have confirmed that the meetings she has with the Prime Minister of the day are anything but comfortable for the incumbent.
