/// Sir David told the Radio Times: "What we mean by Parliamentary democracy is surely that we find someone we respect who we think is probably wiser than we are, who is prepared to take the responsibility of pondering difficult things and then trust him or her to vote on our behalf.” ///

/// Chiming in on immigration, Sir David said: "It’s very easy, as we all know, to be very tolerant of minorities until they become majorities… you find they’re actually telling you what to do and they’ve actually taken over the town council and what you thought was your home isn’t. I’m not supporting it, I’m saying it’s what it is." ///

I partly agree with it ! Not sure about 'wiser than we are' !!

hereIam - the way I read it is that Sir David is saying that this is now parliamentary democracy is supposed to work, and the unspoken implication I take from that is that he is saying that it absolutely isn't working at all!!

Ha! Probably.
