And why not have an EU referendum?

Because it's moronic. It's just a populist measure, it's not in the interest of the country either way. 99% of people won't be able to make an informed decision, and will just be lead by whatever prejudice the newspapers and UKIPers are selling (chances are half the population won't turn up anyway). If the result is to leave the EU then it'll be the biggest triumph of stupidity over common sense in history, and if the vote is to stay in, the whole thing will have been a collosal waste of time, money and paper.

Exactly the same argument could have been made when the UK decided to join. This is what the Europhiles are agruing and I am afraid it is Bo**ocks.

Why do you call people who think Britain should stay in, or people who oppose referenda 'Europhiles'?

I removed "UKIP" from your post, but now it would appear to be an argument against voting in general, wouldn't it?

So, do you propose a dictatorship, a return to the monarchy, or something else?

Can't speak for him but personally I'm happy with representative democracy. That means you vote for people that you think will take decisions that are in the best interests of all in the long run, and if you feel they aren't doing that, you vote for someone else next time.

Unless of course you are part of a system that passes laws irrespective of which party controls your country.
