What most of you fail to realise is that the average man or woman on the street is not equipped, qualified or educated to a level that would allow them to make major economic decisions on behalf of the whole country. Speaking from a personal point of view, I perform a 'professional' role in my career. I am reasonably intelligent but you may as well ask me how many people live on Saturn as ask me about the definitive facts of the Brexit campaign. There are some folk who have an idea what might happen if we left the EU but even they are not sure.
You can flout all the opinions you want guys, it just depends on who wrote them and what they want you to believe. That doesn't give anyone the right to appoint themselves as experts and force their opinions on others.
Leaving decisions to those in power is no guarantee that the right choice will be made but it's a darn sight better than leaving it to the public who have proved time and time again that they don't know what they're doing. Give the public a vote on moral issues but not major economic matters.

And that's why I say it's a load of bollox and a dangerous weapon to put in the hands of people who don't know how to use it with any confidence. Some of you are posting opinions that you clearly believe in. That doesn't make you right and everyone else wrong. It is people like you who tend to be the most dangerous in society. You create a storm, add in a few fear factors, beat others to death with your opinions and all in the hope you will get what you want. Unless you are a proven expert in some relevant matter perhaps some of you should be quiet, there are too many people who can be influenced by your tripe.
