In other words, this single vote will reveal whether or not the EU is a democracy or just another corruptocracy answering to big business (just like the UK, USA, etc.)

It seems that Americans don’t realize that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice, changing nothing, and expecting a different result.

Sort of it a preview of things to come?
