NOT EVERYONE THINKS THE REFERENDUM WAS DEMOCRATIC

There is an interesting article by a Harvard professor (HERE) questioning whether referendums are really democratic. He thinks not and calls the EU referendum Britain's "democratic failure".

His argument is that the whole subject was too complex, the threshhold too low and it was essentially hijacked by people who persuaded voters to cast votes against there own best interests.  Thought provoking even if you might not agree.

The New York Times has another article HERE.
