People who rules the world don't like Brexit.
I really wish that was true. The people who rule the world are narcissistic, sociopathic, greedy, self-important, egomaniacal nationalists. They will stop at nothing to hold on to power and wealth. That means keeping the population poor and uneducated because it is not in their interests for the population to become enlightened. Brexit will happen, and it will be ugly. Our economy will suffer, and our public services will deteriorate. That means poorer health and education across the nation (with the exception of those who are already wealthy enough that they don't need the public services anyway). The elites will retain their power over the population and they will not care even a little bit at the cost to the majority or the disgusting nationalist agenda that they are perpetuating. This degradation will continue until we are so desperate that we will sell our public services to anybody willing to take on such a risky investment. Which means somebody who has enough capital to lose if it falls apart. In other words, america or china. The uk is over. Scotland know it, which is why they are already (before the polls have even closed) talking about a second referendum on independence from the uk. Northern ireland will be next, because they want to remain in the EU. And Wales will jump ship when they realise that england cannot provide for them any more. Like everything, we will fall apart and be sold off piece by piece. Time to emigrate.

It fucking isn't. Democracy means delegation of power to the people. And if you predicate your manifesto on lies and propaganda then this is giving the illusion of control, which is fundamentally disempowering. It is a perversion of what democracy is supposed to be.
There are different positions. People propagate different policies
Telling the population you will do something and then doing something entirely different is neither a position nor a policy. It is simply deception.
and yes, sometimes deceive
And this should be treated as election fraud. Lying in propagandic electioneering in order to gain power over a population and then reneging on your pledges should be treated just the same as if a member of the public coerces a vote from other members of the public. Did you know that that behaviour is illegal? I cannot walk in to a polling station and tell other people "If you vote for party x, terribly outcome y will happen! You should vote for party z instead!" THIS IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE. And so should it be if political bodies do it.
That's what's happening in every democratic vote!
Well obviously it is happening, but that doesn't make it right and sure as fucking shit doesn't make it democracy.
In many cases though, it is not deception but the fact that nobody can tell what the future (or any given policy) will bring.
If you really believe that then you are ignorant. We have already found that a large proportion of the election propaganda put out during this most recent UK election was false. Lies. Propaganda. Manipulation. It was not "oops, we thought we'd have the money for this but we had to spend it on that so now we can't". It was telling people lies to garner their votes.
Wake the fuck up. The conspiracy is real, and we are all the victims. There is no way out now except revolution.
