It is wrong to have people vote over a treaty that no one reads. If they made a knowledge test prerequisite for voting, I would agree with you. In fact that is my proposal for voting in general - first prove that you are ready for voting.

You can have these votes in any country and you would always get these kind of results - suggest we have a vote if people want to pay taxes - you live in an ivory tower if you think ordinary people approach these issued with wisdom and not purely emotionally.
