With 27 members (28 with the approaching addition of Croatia), EU treaty amendments will be impossible, not only because the United Kingdom continues to resist further European integration, but also because popular referenda would be required in many member states. These plebiscites would become a reckoning for national governments on their crisis policies, which no sound-minded government will want.
由于拥有27个成员国（克罗地亚加入后将达到28个），欧盟条约的修改将变得不可能，不仅因为英国继续反对进一步的欧洲一体化，但也由于许多成员国都必须就修订发起公民投票。这些表决将成为对各国政府危机政策的审判，没有政府会头脑发热到想要去做这一点。
