	Definition of Referendum - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A further perceived flaw of the referendum is that in some circumstances the democratic spirit of the referendum may be flouted by the repeated submission to the referendum of a proposal until it is eventually endorsed, perhaps due to a low turn-out or public fatigue with the issue.
		Quebec in Canada is an example; a referendum in 1980 rejected "sovereignty-association" by a vote of 59-41 percent against; a second in 1995 rejected, by 51-49 percent, a mandate to allow the provincial government to negotiate sovereignty with an undefined relationship with Canada based on a common currency.
		The 1980 Quebec referendum and 1995 Quebec referendum on the secession of Québec are notable cases.

		Although some advocates of direct democracy would have the referendum become the dominant institution of government, in practice, in modern times, the referendum exists solely as a complement to the system of representative democracy, in which most major decisions are taken by an elected legislature.
		Some opposition to the referendum has arisen from its use by dictators such as Hitler and Mussolini who, it is argued, used the plebiscite to clothe oppressive policies in a veneer of legitimacy.
		For example two multiple choice referendums held in Sweden, in 1957 and 1980, offered voters a choice of three options, and in 1977 a referendum held in Australia to determine a new national anthem was held in which voters were presented with four choices.

		Norwegians, who have twice rejected EU membership in hotly debated national referendums, tend to get upset when it is suggested that they are not true Europeans.
		For the first time since the second referendum in 1994, support for membership has increased even among groups such as women and voters in rural areas who were previously among the strongest opponents of EU entry.
		With polls showing that Norwegians were as doubtful about the war as many of their fellow Europeans, there may have been an element of solidarity with other EU citizens in the increased support for the European Union.

		EU membership is no longer taboo, and I worry that every single one of the ten referendums in 2003 will serve as a trigger for a Norwegian EU debate, leading up to the biggest trigger of them all: May 2004.
		To say something nice about the EU for a change, I don't think it's the Beast in Revelations, (not the one that introduces barcodes, the other beast.) The number of horns isn't right - the EU passed ten members long ago -- that is, hm, unless you count the heads and the crowns.
		In other words, Norwegians are generally very positive to people from other cultures, but they're (rightly) worried about the level of crime among immigrants, and they don't agree with the current immigration policy.

		Abstract: In conjunction with the referendum on Swedish membership of the European Union (EU) an election study was carried out in collaboration between Statistics Sweden and the Department of Political Science at Göteborg University.
		For all political parties the respondent had to state if the party supported 'yes' or 'no' in the referendum, and furthermore the respondent had to place the parties on a scale ranging from 'very negative' to 'very positive' towards a Swedish membership of the European Union.
		After the referendum the respondent had to answer a mail questionnaire, including questions on actual vote; when one decided how to vote; if one had been watching the concluding TV debate; and if the attitude towards a Swedish membership had been altered during the campaign.
