The UK General Election presently in progress begs the question whether there is any difference in quality of democratic process between a Referendum and an Election.

And all for the sake of a decision made by “A Sovereign People Properly Informed.”
In the meantime, the parrot escapes the cage and a troubled nation’s great flood of lies and ascends far up for a bird’s eye view of us all.
