I'm not old enought to vote yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />. I will be in two months though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />. But due to this I havn't had much experiences of it. I remember we'd have four referendums total in our history. It was about traffic (if we should go over to right traffic, or stay with left traffic, somewere in the mid 60's this, right traffic was voted in), the nuclear question (three alternatives, stay as it is, totally abandoning it or abandon it in 30 years. Made in 1979, alternative three was voted in. Nothing has happened so far...), if we should join EU or not (we did in 1995 I think) and if we should go over to euro, or wait. We decided to wait.
I THINK the goverment is consiering a referendum about the constitution, but they want to do it when the majority of the pepole is pro <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />...
And about democracy in general: let me put it like Winston Churcill: Democracy is a lousy way to rule a country, but do you have a better suggestion?
