As a citizen of one of the two countries that had a referendum on the issue, I had the privilege to vote on it. I rejected it, because I don't like the undemocratic elements of the proposed system (and of the current) and am not in favour of a European superstate that creates more and more rules and laws while the democratic, elected parliaments have to take a step back.

So, how did you vote? Or feel about it?

Plus, what do you think should happen next?

[For recent Dutch political history: my recent diary does a little explaining]
