- It is an outrage that people as ignorant as me are being asked to vote. This is a complicated matter of economics, politics, history, and we live in a representative democracy not a plebiscites on certain issues - I could imagine somebody arguing for one on fox hunting, for example - but not something as involved as the European Union. This should be a matter for parliament. — (David Mitchell, Dishonesty is the Second-Best Policy: And Other Rules to Live By, Guardian Faber Publishing, 2019, p. 196)
