This small example shows the true nature of any democratic government: if you vote the way they don't like, they will not submit to it. Voting is useless.



This is a gross simplification. Internet trolling and mockery doesn't really represent the will of the people.


You are projecting your own opinions and representing them as "the will of the people". I personally vastly prefer things in life being amusing and unexpected rather than boring and pompous, and as such I think "Boaty McBoatface" is likely a way better name than whatever will be chosen as its replacement. Wanting life to not be bland is not "internet trolling" nor "mockery".


There's a chance you might be misjudging "the people."
