From: Barrie Frost, Watson’s Lane, Reighton, Filey.Don Burslam says (Yorkshire Post, March 18), that as 27 countries all chose to join the European Union, with more to follow, such numbers show this must be the correct decision.
The 100th lemming was heard to utter similar logic when, with all his mates, he jumped off the cliff.
Mr Burslam also failed to note that the people of this country have never voted for a European Union. Some of us can recall voting for a Common Market way back in 1975.
Governments are NOT entitled to ignore the democratic wishes of people merely because they and their buddies in likeminded political parties are in agreement over madcap, anti-democratic policies.
It is for this reason that for such politicians the word 'populist' is anathema.
The true 'will of the people' simply terrifies 'em!
