Revealing.

A comparable debate is taking place in Britain, as far as i am aware. In Germany, we have been prohibited to oppose it from the very beginning.

Long live democracy - not.
Well thats how it works isn't it? I give you this if you give me that and you swap the referendum for better social adjustments.
You can't have them all.
The socialist party still can vote for a referendum in parlement. Then you have both!
