Oh well, it will mean me changing all my investments for my retirement as they're currently tied up in Scotland. I suspect it would not cause a huge dent in the Scottish economy.

The Swiss do a lot of referenduming, they do it that you need a certain majority to enact the change, without it the bill Kees being amended to see a majority view and so they ask the same question until they get a sufficient consensus.

I think there's a difference between searching for a formulae that gains majority support by amending the proposition - and not getting the answer you want so just asking the same question again until you do. Thinking that the outcome of a referendum is the 'wrong' answer is not the exercise of proper democracy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I quite agree. I also think asking a yes no question with significant consequences and basing the outcome on a tiny majority such as 50.1 per cent is not the exercise of proper democracy. As is not defining the legal terms of referendums in terms of what the outcome means etc. mond you I also think first past the post in the constituency system in the UK is not proper democracy, also that the boundaries can be changed to make it much more likely for one party to win. I totally agree with your point, mine was made more as an alternative way of looking at how we ask questions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I am due to my jab this afternoon. Before that I have to sort out my mother's medical appointment. She's 86 and doesn't do technology so they sent her a very long link in a letter so she can access a virtual appointment. Really? They know the issue they are discussing prevents her being able to accurately transcribe a lengthy link address from paper into an iPad. There are bits of the NHS that could win awards for callous stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
