Democracy in Europe explained

The ultimate model is the people choose.

Sometimes the people chosen by the people choose.

Sometimes the people chosen by the people choose who the people get to choose between.

Most of the time – and this is key – the people the people chosen by the people choose have to have been chosen by the people in the first place.

But when the person that is chosen by the people who were chosen by the people who were chosen by the people wasn’t even chosen by the people nor even by or from among the people who were chosen by the people, that kind of takes the biscuit.

Hope that’s clear.

Next week: cricket.
