Me, no. 50%+1 of the voters, okay. As long as I'm free to pick up and leave if the result is unacceptable to me, I'm fine with it. We either have the right to govern ourselves or we don't. Personally, I'd rather live in a country where ordinary people at least have the opportunity rather than being ruled by a "wiser" elite.
