The home of democracy and land of the free doesn't want us to have a referendum?

The US just wants to keep its puppet in the EU. The US isn't exactly the land of the free anyway. Land of the delusionally free, maybe.

I hope the EU gets reformed a bit anyway, some of it is a bit unnecessary but I wouldn't want to just leave it entirely.

There are several precedents for doing so, apparently God can choose to kick people out again.

I've always wondered if a pope got in who was a radical liberal and started changing everything about/renouncing god/declaring everyone has to wear silly hats on Tuesdays or something, what would actually happen. Since he is infallible... I suppose they have to claim he has gone insane or something? Who knows.

73 votes for the Don't Cook Party. Not entirely sure what their policies are apart from encouraging people to not cook their own food.

That is the great thing about God, he works in mysterious ways.
