I bet that most of the 30% or so that did go to vote, don't know what they voted for :D

Yeah that is mostly the case will all electorates in all countries, democracy is not ideal but it's the best way we have at the moment.

Trust is hard to gain but easy to lose.

Sure and make it interesting enough so that people actually show up, maybe close
to 90% if not over. These referendums are a waste of money when people don't
show up, and the best part is that they pay for it. Over here, some politicians and
media oligarchs tried to suspend the president twice, in 2007 and 2012. In the
first referendum the population had passed the 50% required and voted like 90%
against suspending and in 2012, only 45% went to vote - out of these only 20%
voted against.

I would call a referendum in the western countries to decide how to help the eastern
countries fight corruption. Over here, I want to have a quite limited government that
only is concerned with making sure its citizens are protected from eachother and
from other entities and beyond local administration, have something to do with
infrastructure. Here we don't even have a highway and even if some complain, there's
nobody to get voted to build, say 150-200km per year.

Btw, I read that we have the most expensive highways in Europe per kilometer. Our
highways are some regional 3rd class roads in France. Every year they build some
kilometers of highway, they have others closed because it was not build properly. Nobody
here is investigating anything. I don't plan on getting a drivers license while I'm still
in this country.

Now that I am part of the EU, it would be very nice if the EU would have something to say
to a politcian here who was found stealing 300 million euros(like it happens almost weekly),
who says "innocent until proven guilty". This is just 1 case a politician or business person
backed by politics who gets to have a trial.

Many people in many countries don't believe in vote anymore, and i guess they have some reasons for that.

I believe in vote. The only problem is the message non voters send out
isn't taken into consideration.
