Bureaucracy.

The EU is the European Union. 500 million humans.

This legislation is a win for the common person. Trying to portray as foisted upon the public from on high = a propaganda twist too far.

So why not hold a referendum on it?

Because most people have little knowledge about the EU and are easily influenced. Direct democracy doesn't work well because of that if you ask me

So you'd say it has to be foisted on the common woman from up high?

Wasn't there a war in the US because of leaving states? ;-) How was that "referendum"?

Advancements are always foisted upon the common man without their consent.
