EU Boss: Citizens Should Not Get to Vote on Important Issues

On his way out of office, the rotating head of the European Union Council called on EU leaders to stop letting citizens vote on important issues that could threaten the increasingly controversial super-state. Citing recent anti-establishment votes in Britain and Italy, the EU Council boss blasted the “adventures” of letting citizens decide the fate of their own nations in referenda. The EU boss drew a quick rebuke from advocates of self-government.

But while the comments shocked some analysts, the controversial remarks should not have been surprising — especially considering the EU's long history of trampling all over voters to empower the super-state in defiance of the people's will. The extremist sentiment also follows repeated warnings from European leaders that globalist fanatics in Brussels were plotting to destroy self-government and the nation-state on the road toward regional and then global “governance.”

This doesn't surrprise me. The EU is well known for being undemocratic.

In fact, the British EU in/out referendum is unusual in the fact that the EU hasn't forced the British Government to re-hold the referendum due to the people giving the "wrong" answer. It was in 2008 when Ireland held a referendum on the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty (the EU constitution) and the Irish people voted against its ratification. The EU didn't like the answer so forced the Irish people to re-hold the referendum - and they duly voted in favour the second time around. France and the Netherlands have also been victims of this.

The EU holds democracy in contempt. It won't even let that get in its way in its attempts to build a dictatorial empire.
