gamesfreak64: Referendum are a joke
catpower1980: At least you have this "tool" in the Dutch constitution. In Belgium it has been erased since the 50's and the abidction of the king Leopold III. Our Prime Minister talked recently about reintroducing it for "big social matters" but the proposition got torn apart in Wallonia as the results could potentially be in favor of Vlaamingen and Waalse right-wing in terms of national proportions (basically, they criticize the essence of a majority in a democracy).
Fuck, still ten years like this and I'll really move out to Netherlands, you Dutch are saner than us :o)

BTW, I got my Amazon order at noon, with among other books:
"You Can't Read This Book: Censorship in an Age of Freedom" by Nick Cohen
https://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Cant-Read-This-Book/dp/0007518501/
Probably won't read it soon as I already have a big backlog but can be interesting on this subject.
Your welcome, our little country is already flooding with 'people' so a few thousands belgians would at least add something usefull, we like the belgians we like the humor, samson and gert, and the belgian voices for timon and pumba, and gaston en leo in the 60s and 70s.
i dont know how long it would take to naturalise to dutch, but maybe you lucky and jump on a rubber boat :D
who knows, how fast that would naturalise you.
I assume you can read some Dutch? if so, check the dutch site that started the referendum: geenstijl dot nl
and yes we dutch are aware of the mess you poor belgians are in right now, thats what we get when our PM have no backbone, but were not alone:
PM cameron has no backbone
PM Rutte doesnt know what a backbone is and you cant have anything if you dont know even know it exists and what it would look like, maybe his backbone is made of rubber, which has some benefits, it makes it easier to bend to different sides, left, right and center and maybe various others.
Current PM of France : no backbone
and the beat goes on and on....
and Germany ? that chancellor is beyond repair i guess
I dont know about the latest countries that joined much later, i do hear rumors that one small country seems to have a reasonable PM, i think it was Hungary , with a mp that sounded like orphan or something.
dont know for sure... cause lots of news is beiing with held from us and censored, many posts magically disappear, news articles in english papers have lots of : oops page is miracly disappeeard so i guess censorship is at full speed.
But arent all borders open? :D if so, just come to visit us and dont leave :D no one will notice that i guess, they are to busy trying to get a nice job in Brussels.
check this:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2329554/EU-expenses-MEPs-Brussels-earn-740-average-citizen-enjoy-free-haircuts-gallons-petrol.html that hurts :D, thats why they want the EU to stick together, to keep their big salaries.
And while the lid to the sewer is still open :
google for: fuel tax germany then scroll untill you see some english newspapers :D
As for Dorothea (merkel) wikipedia:
Angela Dorothea Merkel is a German politician and former research scientist. Merkel has been the Chancellor of Germany since 2005, and the leader of the Christian Democratic Union since 2000.
check the bold, thats a bit frightening to read isnt it?
research scientist, thats why the trying to mess up, she likes to research, thats like experimenting with 'new' things, (laws, rules and more like that).
The funny part is: Dorothea
thats like Dorothy in english
reminds me of the welknown classic : The Wizard of Oz ( a very good kids movie, maybe a bit scary for very young but its quite entertaining)
When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage. The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.
So thats why all the 'experimenting' she' is looking for the wizard of oz, Oz does not exist, but many people dont know that, so oz will be replaced by EU, The wizard of EU.

Dorothy, The wizard, and 3 awkward helpers: with some imagination we can fill in these 3 heroes with PM names i guess.
Dorothy would be Dorothea , The Wizard can be anyone..., the lion who needs courage could be :
the tinman who wants a heart could be :
and the scarecrow could be:
So its only a dream, everything is allright, nothing to worry about, just make sure to check if you wear the red shoes, and then click your heels and say the magic word:
There's no place like home.... and repeat that until the effect begins ....
click click ... There's no place like home .... There's no place like home There's no place like home
