I'm living in the EU. I go online and read various news items every day. I'm baffled about the fact I somehow managed to miss that there was an official poll / call for direct citizen feedback on such a topic I personally care about. I might have bit a bit distracted ... or the whole poll might not have been conducted particularly well. Overrepresentation of a particular country might be a tell tale sign of local media coverage that was effectively done only in one country.

The EU Commission launches hundreds of Consultations, which the vast majority never hear about: https://ec.europa.eu/info/consultations_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/consultations_en I'm not sure if they actually pretend these are representative of the general public opinion.

It was on the HN front page for a few hours when it launched.
