Meanwhile, speaking at a dinner in Westminster on Wednesday, Sir John Major, Conservative Prime Minister from 1990 to 1997, called for the 48% of people who voted against Brexit in June's referendum to have their views considered.
"The tyranny of the majority has never applied in a democracy and it should not apply in this particular democracy," he said, according to former BBC parliamentary correspondent Robert Orchard, who attended the event.
Please, this isn't intended as a pro- or anti- Brexit thread. So please don't start that back up.
Just a thread to recall that that isn't how it appeared "back in the day" when John Major banned handguns and even, despite all the evidence and ACCEPTING THAT EVIDENCE, wouldn't even allow an exception under his .22 Rimfire pistol exemption for .32 S & W Long chambered weapons.
Seemed to me, back then, that it pretty much was the tyranny of the majority in its full pomp and panoply.
