The UK Reform Party proposing a rapid switch to 'direct democracy' to help facilitate a permanent state of street-wide fisticuffs. It's the obvious solution to rule by minorities
"A referendum on this subject is one of the most sinister and dangerous ideas I have ever heard for this reason: what do you think the result would have been if, at the height of Covid hysteria, a referendum was called with the question, "should the Covid vaccine be mandated for everyone?"
Whilst millions would have voted no, the majority would almost certainly have voted yes. Then the state would have had a mandate to vaccinate us all by force.
This is why I am against direct democracy (e.g., the public voting on every important political issue by referendum): because the mainstream media is too powerful, and can too easily manipulate people into voting as it desires."
