Europe doesnt seem to like democracy very much, does it?

So polls are saying that the new EU constitution (sorry, the EU Reform Treaty!) should be put to the people in a referendum: I quote:

An overwhelming majority of people in the European Union’s five biggest
member states want the bloc’s treaty on institutional reform to be submitted to
national referendums, according to an opinion poll published on
Thursday.
According to the poll, 70 per cent of those questioned in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK want a referendum, 20 per cent do not, and 10 per cent are unsure. Some 76 per cent of Germans want a referendum, 75 per cent of Britons, 72 per cent of Italians, 65 per cent of Spaniards and 63 per cent of French.

You know what I hate? is being taken for an idiot by these politicians. Gordon Brown and other assorted European leaders, do not think that I am not able to make an informed judgement. And when you are talking about my country's sovereignity, I do not trust you at all. Plus you promised. So besides being elitist, you are also a liar, a promise breaker and frankly incompetent to boot.

Disgusting!

All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!
