UK is still in the ECHR, so, not really, not yet
- You're the one who failed to comprehend my guy.
I was never talking about NYC, you assumed.

nice, exaggeration, and more misrepresentation, see ya

I don't see a difference, fundamentally it comes down to consent of the governed. If 51% of a country votes for something, and it doesn't happen, then what's the point in voting?
- I live in France, which I'm not sure if you paying attention to it (no judgement, why would you), but as a country, they're somewhat financially screwed, so whether or not there are elections, or even if the people have representation, something needs to be done, and it will likely involve higher taxation and cost of living generally.
- My original point was about people having any say in terms of how much tax they pay. And the American revolution was an example in the extreme of what can happen, given it did happen.
- I have never read anything by him
- Yes Gregg, I was speaking as a European using the American revolution as an example, not strictly speaking about NYC right now, I hope that's clear
- I think you're right yes.
- representation is the will of the people, the approval of persons, so I fail to see the difference
- now you're just lying, blatantly.
My point was about the degree of taxation.
- You understand surely, that just because people vote, doesn't mean their representatives actually do anything that the people that voted want?
come on
- I realize this is difficult for you, but if you read my first response to you, it was talking about Europeans (which I am), and what they identify with, we as Europeans, have little say in how we are taxed.
- If you have no say in how much you are taxed, that is taxation without representation.
Seems you completely missed the point.
this is correct, waves are a product of pressures, so, are emergent also, the real question is, where does the pressure originate
