welcome back to worlds apart but the evolutionary biologists richard dawkins mr dawkins talked about donald trump and the mess the state of american politics how does britain compare it to that well i'm working on british affairs because i think that it was the wrong decision of david cameron to call a referendum on something as complicated as leaving the european union i do it's another of those cases where as i was saying earlier about having a surgeon who knows his job well having a knows how to play. the decision on leaving your is a very very complicated political and economic decision and it's the kind of thing where we need parliamentary democracy which we have. was entirely wrong decision to hand the matter over to. the general public which was not qualified to take that position especially in the way it was presented. you are known for criticizing people who hold on to believe despite the evidence to the country but i think. british politics has produced a whole class of politicians whose views you can't really pin down i mean they may be for breakfast one day they may be ag
