The European Union's disdain for democracy has been discussed at length. They will reportedly press ahead with the EU despite the wishes of French and Dutch voters.
I just want to ask one question. When dictators rig elections to show that 99.99% of voters want the cutthroat leader in power, is it a sign of more or less respect for democracy [Wait. I have to turn off Chris Matthews, that vile journalistic-American.] that the EU simply lets the votes fall where they may and then just seeks to do what it wants?
I'm almost getting nostalgic for vote rigging dictators like Hugo Chavez and Saddam. At least they pretend that they need a majority of the voters.
