A customs officer in Italy
was confronted with a
dilemma his first day on
the job. A shipment of
art needed to be tariffed.
He arrived at a solution
by simply weighing it.
I am of the opinion, that
majorities are not always
right, but on the electoral
scales they tilt an advantage.
The brexit referendum had
a cantilevered fulcrum which
put its pivot point off centre.
Besides, it was a contradictory
vote, because the leavers wanted
to remain and the remainers
wanted to leave, Europe, I mean.
So, in effect, what occurred is
that the under educated majority
were confused by the terminology,
hence, a result influenced by weight.
