There have been in my view three significant moments since the war when the British electorate have perhaps unexpectedly instinctively done the right thing:
Voting for Brexit,
Electing Margaret Thatcher
Electing a Labour government in 1945.
There have been other lesser moments, some right, some wrong.
But I do confess a warmer feeling for democracy when its results coincide with my own views. :)
