Greece bailout
Though the greek issue wasn't as black-and-white as this but that was a referendum that the EC simply ignored and went with the opposite of what was decided. Can it be claimed that they didn't go "against" the referendum? They probably will, they probably can, but anyone with the capacity to discern basic things will tell that it's bogus.
here0s another reason to hate the brits: now every right-wing swamp dweller of a fringe party is getting press time to ask for a referendum because we know they are all about democracy
and the press is buying into it because it's a shocker and it sells!! Sweden wants to leave too! they say. no, the far-right wants to leave, jfc. so does the french far-right and the portuguese far-right holy shit dudes stop giving them coverage they are literal fascists wtf
