The idea that an individual voter is important is something of an oxymoron in a democracy which believes in majority rule.
It is similiar to the concept that a minority MUST be catered for in EVERY circumstance and some are more privileged than others based on WHAT they are rather than WHO they are -- an example of the latter is the Queen sits in the Royal Box in the theatre or a gentleman can book a Hotel exclusively for a week -- because he can afford to . and an example of the latter the former is a man can go in to a shop and DEMAND a service against the wishes of those providing the service.
We all delude ourselves that we have rights and have airs of self importance but the fact is we come into the world with nothing and survive by virtue of our parents love only to grow into "wage slaves", kissing ass to get ahead -- we don't like it and end up as---- members of #METOO or its equivalent with chips on our shoulders.
Democracy only works if, and only if it consists of basically 4 estates -- Head --upper house-- lower house -- and press media -- keeping a balance between the rights of individuals and majorities .
The Irony is that those demanding Remain and Democratic rights etc desire to be part of the most undemocratic body currently existing. I Know of no other "club" in the world were the membership can impose demands on a member if they wish to resign. ( other than membership fees up to the date of resignation ).
It was Groucho Marx said " I wouldn't join a club who would have me as a member" he might have had a point.
