June 1st, Holland went to vote on the referendum about the European law. And they voted against it! Over 60% voted no, and in some cities/villages there was only 8% pro :p

Awesome! The motherland prevails! I heard about France voting against it, which is odd because as one of the bigger countries in the EU, I would have thought they'd benefit from it or something...who knows, I'm not fully up to date on the issues of the referendum thing, but it sounds like ya'll have an ally in this deal. Hopefully they will make some needed changes that will help the little guys, namely the overly sexy land of Holland! ;)
Yeah, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Maybe at the time Holland really wanted to be in the EU and felt they needed to impress the big kids, kind of like the annoying kid on the block who always wants to play, but he's kind of a pest so you always make him do something more to hang out...or something like that. But whatever it was, hopefully your government will get that raw deal changed so that you can actually get money, but even just paying a little less so that you're on par with the rich countries would at least be fair. Hope it works out...
But yeah, rock that sexy voice of yours, make it known that you're against it! Way to be political! ;)
Well, it wasn't so Holland would be accepted to join the EU or whatever... Holland's been in it from the beginning, when there were only 6 countries... and slowly we're being pushed to the back I guess...
Thing is, several countries are going to join the EU in the next couple of years, and those are all poor-like countries that will be receiving money from the EU...
It's also obvious that the poor-like countries that are in the EU now, vote in favour of the law, because they support everything the EU wants as long as it's not cutting of the money-stream they get from the EU... for them it's all just a bennefit you know, but it's the smaller, richer countries that get the shit...
But at least now that law-shit is not gonna happen :D
