Tony Blair.Originally Posted by Aimless
Speaking of the irony of British referendums...
"I could not consent to the introduction into our national life of a device so alien to all our traditions as the referendum, which has only too often been the instrument of Nazism and fascism."
-- Attlee
"The late Lord Attlee was right when he said that the referendum was a device of dictators and demagogues."
-- Thatcher
Can anyone confirm if these are real quotes and also explain how the erosion of British democracy came about?
