Respecting a democratic vote is fascist?
1 comments

Not exactly. But there are definitely overtones of nationalism and anti-liberalism in what ministers were saying at the Conservative party conference and in recent anti-immigration proposals. They're also insisting on denying MPs and the public a vote on the exact terms of our withdrawal when many people are calling the referendum irresponsible and the result a flippant protest. So currently "respecting" this vote is not exactly the height of liberal democracy either.
