    What would be your alternative to our voting system?

    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    I was talking about your mindset being stuck in selfishness when some people are philanthropic.
    You started talking about brexit and voting. I’m at a loss to understand the connections you’re making.

    I haven’t complained about the voting system, merely pointing out that you were factually incorrect to say the majority of people voted for brexit - that isn’t true.
    17.4. Million is not the majority of people.

    The people who didn`t vote might have supported Brexit though?

    No deal brexit still looks the most likely outcome

    covid19 pandemic at the same time certainly means more uncertainty

    I once read Donald Trumps book and although I don’t like him, his negotiating skills are legendary. He just walks away.

    Trump negotiates like a toddler - there's a lot of shouting and demands, and then as long as you make him think he's won you can get away with just about anything. He makes a lot of threats and winds back on them, tries to bury people in legal fees or buys them off.
    The EU won't stand for any of that and will just let us tantrum away into a no deal.

    So you think a no deal is going to happen?

    do you then think 30% HPC as Mark Carney predicted if no deal?

    the global pandemic on top of no deal chaos could mean far more than 30% crash.

    Mark Carney did not predict a 30% HPC if there was a Brexit no deal.

    Carney's role is to simply paint the worst possible scenario. In the hope that that individual people make informed decisions that collectively help the country to avoid the issue.
