Labour’s new motto seems to be: “You’ve had your say, now kindly sit down while we decide what’s best.” Forget referendums, forget that messy “will of the people” stuff — apparently, entrusting voters with major decisions is like letting toddlers pilot a 747. Dangerous, noisy, and not great for Brussels.
🤫 The People’s Voice… On Mute
Once upon a referendum, we were told our voices mattered. “The people have spoken,” they said — until they didn’t like what the people actually said. Now Labour’s tapping the microphone, clearing their throats, and announcing that democracy was just a limited-time offer with absolutely no returns, exchanges, or second thoughts allowed.
They’re selling us the political equivalent of a used car wrapped in EU flags, promising smooth rides while cutting the brake cables on public say. Why trust the masses when you have think tanks, party whips, and focus groups made entirely of PPE grads who once interned in Luxembourg?
And don’t get it twisted — this isn’t about being pro or anti-EU. It’s about the audacity of pushing aside the electorate like an annoying pop-up ad. You don’t want direct democracy? Fine. But don’t gaslight the public by pretending that you’re the ones defending it. This is less “for the people” and more “to the people — with love, from your betters.”
Maybe next time, just skip the polling booths and send us all a lovely note:
“Dear Citizens, we’ve got this. Go watch Bake Off. Love, The Elites.”
