Ukraine Thread

[Fragony]

Would the low attendance in some way give wiggleroom for the Dutch government to weasel out of what the referendum gave as a strong result? Given that as Gilrandir posted, in total only about 20% voted against it out of the eligible population.

They can do that even if 100% showed up and voted no. We have seen that before with the EU-consitution referendum which we also said no to, took out the EU-athem and called it the Lissabon-treaty, and pushed it through despite the French and the Dutch rejecting it. Something similar is going to happen now, something that's irrelevant is taken out, treaty gets a new name, that's how the EU rolls. It's more of a problem for our national government who ars at an all-time low. We have put them in a very uncomfortable position with a no in a (enforced) referendum, the Dutch no will have no consequences for Ukraine whatsoever,everything has already been sneaked in a few months ago, few no-voter are as stupid as to think something substantial was ackomplished. See it as a bitchslap

Thing is, what was done now can be done again, with more resolve because we are going to be played again, and we will continue to it untill every old-boy's network here is insignificant.
