Democracy in action

Our Prime Minister on radio yesterday to discuss forthcoming Lisbon Treaty Referendum (part 2) says we are having this referendum because we live in a Democracy and the Government go by the wishes of the people. Apparently the Government have got the clarification from the EU that the people wanted and we now get to vote again. He seems to think we voted No because we wanted reassurance regarding a few items, not because we wanted to vote No because we don't want the Lisbon Treaty. Democracy,Dictatorship ,what's the difference? I hope to God this Treaty is voted against again, maybe then the penny will drop.
