Democracy failing

We have twice had a referendum in this country where, to the horror of the establishment, we voted for the wrong result so they made us vote again.

Now it seems the Scottish nationalists want another vote and the Britons known as Remainers want another vote. Also, many in the US object to President Trump and would like another vote. Could it be that old-fashioned democracy, when the result of an election or referendum was accepted by all, is being replaced with ‘second choice’ democracy – and did we start the trend ?
