Agree or disagree with the following statement: Brexit
proves that some issues should not be decided by referendum.
I agree with the statement, because it is easy to manipulate
people into voting for one cause or the other. It could be argued that some
politicians try to stoke fears in the society to get them on their side, and
people tend to let fears influence them without checking for facts first.
Another important reason to consider is the possibility that people who are
allowed to vote in a referendum do not know what they are deciding about. They
might not be interested in the topic at all or do not inform themselves on the
topic and it is reasonable to assume that they vote on a gut feeling. A further
aspect may be that in every election based decision there certainly are protest
voters and people who do not go to vote at all, because they might think that
thier vote will not make a difference anyways.
