Rubber-stamped

Appointed commissioners who nobody votes for and who cannot be voted out frame all the laws, and these are then merely rubber-stamped by the European parliament. It's actually scary what this could potentially mean. It's a despot's dream set-up. Very short-sighted to vote to remain.

The spread of popular education in conjunction with the coming of the machine age and its concomitants, have together sufficed to create a rubber-stamped mentality. The popular Press, the cinema and the radio have resulted in the emergence of a public, the component members of which, with exceptions so rare as to be negligible, think alike and function alike.
