It's ironic, because many people that were under Soviet Union feel like European Union is creeping dangerously closely towards it, with centralized planning (Germany) and silencing of dissenting voices (if people vote against something in referendum, just run a fear campaign and repeat the referendum).
- jussaying2 9y agoDo you have any sources to support your assertions on centralized planning done by Germany, or decisions overturned by repeated referendums?
- NLips 9y agoThis is an oft-mentioned idea in the UK. See here for a list of state EU referenda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendums_related_to_the_European_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendums_related_to_the_Eur... The only repeat referenda seem to be ones where: 1) a motion was denied 2) ammendments were made to change or garuantee parts of the motion 3) the motion was subsequently passed In the anti-EU crowd, this has morphed into "repeatedly re-run a referendum until they get the result they want"
