Undemocratic

This will help you appreciate how undemocratic the European Union is:

<<<

Unlike France’s referendum [on the European Constitution], which was binding on the government, the Dutch vote is advisory. Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende’s governing party said Monday it will accept a “no” verdict only if turnout reaches at least 30 percent and if 55 percent of those who vote reject the charter.
>>>

A yes vote needs only 45 percent, no matter the turnout. A no vote needs 55 percent, with at least 30 percent turnout. How very fair!
