I feel like a continent-wide decision that has profoundly affected the lives of tens of millions of people should have been put to some sort of democratic check-up, like a vote.

Also, you vote for this kind of thing both in your national elections and in the European Parliament elections. It's representative rather than direct democracy (I do agree that it should be more direct, but not to the point of a referendum on the Bologna process).
- CydeWeys 3y agoLike a referendum? I dunno, that often doesn't work so well (see California). Most of the time you'd rather have a republican system than a pure democracy.
