Do you have any sources to support your assertions on centralized planning done by Germany, or decisions overturned by repeated referendums?

This 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_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"
