The dual narrative of politics continues, and both sides of the equation literally experience a different universe it would seem.
I personally disagree entirely. I just am amazed that a fragmented simultaneously different truth can exist so openly with people believing the side they agree with.
Of course I see the risk to UK democracy and the strategic (and in my view dangerously manipulative) use of the system and of course with the timing it seems impossible to argue seriously that it's just to set out a programme of gov, but that is the line Johnson is selling.
So I downvoted because I can't make heads or tails of your words.
Some people who see his viewpoint are happy to overlook the timing and don't necessarily see it as undemocratic.
There is another element. Direct democracy believers feel that parliament is trying to crush democracy (by potentially overturning a referendum result).
Representative democracy believers cannot accept that their representatives would be denied the ability to represent their constituents at such a critical time of major constitutional change.
So the dual narrative was a reference to how some people see this step as delivering the power and will of the people.
Others see it as a dangerous subversion of democracy.
Happy to clarify more if I'm being unclear but you can read the comment section on the BBC article and you'll see incredibly polar comments. The dual narrative is precisely that. People read the same article, see the same speech and have a completely different understanding of it.
Perhaps that's unremarkable to you, but in the UK it's been profound and profoundly different from the mainstream politics I've seen my entire life.
[Edit - clarification of crush democracy]
Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
There are always one or two pro-Brexit people in threads like this who get defensive at the sight of any opposition to their way of reasoning about this.
It wasn't an endorsement, and I'm happy to discuss the issues in detail. I've been doing it since I lost the vote...
