Quote du Jour | Boaty McBoatface
So, it’s a bad idea. So what? People vote for bad ideas all the time. Look at the defeated alternative vote referendum in 2011.

Boris Johnson is a terrible idea. He’s a egotistical twit in a child-sized Sia wig who keeps filling London with insane foreign-owned monuments to his own genitals, but people keep voting for him anyway. Nobody stepped in after the last election to tell everyone to stop being so silly. Nobody overrode the results and installed a more sensible mayor. It didn’t happen then, and it shouldn’t happen now.
