Referendum in Scotland. It is a democracy ? Part 13.
On Thursday, Seeptember 18,2014 a referendum was held in Scotland.Voted against independens of 55%, for independens--45%.First celebrating the victory,the second upset defeat.Whether or not referendum is a manifestation of democracy? We always insist that the referendum is the most democratic thing is that this expression of the will of the people.But the questionis--when and where people expressed their will unanimously? It was unanimous,because the people is 100% of the population,the people of this whole and not any part of greater or lesser.We are constantly convince people that is the majority.That is,as is the case whith the Scottish referendum,the people of this 55%,and the remaning 45% is then who? And if the referandum is a direct democracy then what referendums are held by non-democratic regimes and claimed tyranny.For example in Nazi Germany Hitler*s totalitarian power was approved at the referendum will of the majority.Or for exemple in the case of Belarus,where it was approved in a referendum power of Alexander Lukashenko--Europe*s last dictator.The referendum is the dictatorship of the majority over minority though most very relative as in the case of Scotland.Nevertheless,after the Scottish plebiscite muchwill change.Reletionship between Scotland and Britain will never be the same again.Will minorities constitute 45% of the population can not be ignored.Since that victory of the majority rather relative.
