Matthew Elliott of Vote Leave, who said we should leave the EU so we aren't run by unelected bureaucrats has just been given a seat in the House of Lords in the resignation honours of Liz Truss. We're such a joke of a country. #ukpolitics https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67843755

@nickbwalking Matthew Elliot has been trying to screw democracy for decades. Yes, Labour botched the devolution process and jumped to NE assembly referendum far too early in 2004. But he and Cummings were behind the no campaign which I remember deliberately trying to confuse voters. This derailed prospects for a more balanced UK political fabric and what they learned from their they took to the Alternative Vote and Brexit referenda.
