    Or perhaps they believe in democracy more than you? If you are proposing putting root and branch changes for the NHS to the people as part of your platform which you would enact if elected, fair enough. However, you seem to suggest make the drastic changes and then ask the electorate to vote on them afterwards. Deceitful and definitely not democratic.

    It will happen at some point. Gradually sooner would be better.

    Yes I accept the Brexit vote although I think it was a mistake. I know some think there should have been a requirement for 60% or something but I think that would just have caused conflict. Democracy is not about only accepting what you want and I do think that is a problem with the left.

    Too often people pay lip service to the concept of democracy.

    Mr Hancock's allies speculated that he had been the victim of a 'hit' by No 10, or even a foreign power such as China

    You're correct governments blaming 'foreign forces' to distract from their own incompetence should be ridiculed.
