Have they forgotten that No means No?

Question

I remember in the 1960's the EEC (European Economic Community) now the EU, stressing the importance of participation, describing it as the 'Democratic Imperative' , the principle that those who will be most affected by political decisions must be deeply involved in the making of those decisions. The inevitable centralization of power and accompanying bureaucracy meant that the traditional democratic safeguards must be extended and strengthened.

Answer 1

Are you really old enough to remember this?

Answer 2

Hey, it's kinda like this. When a woman says "no", it means she needs another beer.

Answer 3

It makes you ask yourself what part of no they don't understand?

Answer 4

Sometimes it means "we haven't understood the question".  All questions about Europe should be prefixed with the phrase "Do you mind if we..."  That way the xenophobes and Sun readers would agree to anything.

Answer 5

No in politics always means.

''Given a positive enhancement of emphasis in any question the answer should be yes''.

Answer 6

Absolutely!

Answer 7

no not me

Answer 8

is it right that 3 million people who haven't even read the treaty should hold the rest of us to ransom over the democratisation of Europe, Lisbon holds the key to a new enlarged democratic Europe powerful enough to uphold the freedoms we hold dear

Answer 9
