This is not only the UK I believe, it&#x27;s just the UK is the only country where citizen will have their opinion heard about the EU, the sentiment is shared by other countries. On my case in France, they won&#x27;t do a vote because they are really afraid of the result, the anti-EU movement is going stronger every year and I believe it&#x27;s the same in Germany, Spain and Italy. As much I as love the EU myself, it&#x27;s currently not very democratic I must admit.
