This may have been mentioned after 5 pages already, but this argument has been coloured by the likes of Brexit which was a direct vote by the people. That's unusual in UK democracy. Normally you vote in a bunch of "professionals" to make these kind of decisions for you. This works if the people who comprise the parties you're voting for are competent and there on merit.
