Shockingly, it was those men who extended the franchise so you could vote, but you'd never vote for them.

Which suggests that they were wrong to believe extending the franchise would improve democracy.

As for a joke? The whole EU is a joke, and so is the US Congress. So was the Russian Empire, and the Roman Empire.... every large state is a big joke about a city that rules over people that none of the rulers ever meet.

Dissolve the EU says I - ban all Eurocrats from holding Office for life, start again.
