	Definition of Referendum - Biocrawler
		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.
		The 1980 Quebec referendum and 1995 Quebec referendum on the secession of Québec are notable cases.
		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.

		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.
