Here in Sweden we were allowed to have a national vote over which side of the road to drive on because all the opinion polls / propaganda favoured the right option, when the population overwhelmingly voted for the wrong option our politicians just went "lol, national votes don't decide policy; we do" and that was the end of that. Didn't even do the brexit strategy with having people vote again to get it right, just a plain "fuck you, we are in charge" =P

All referendums are only "guidelines" in Sweden, always has been. Not strictly forced on the Parliament to do yet they've at least listened to most referendums, they didnt ban alcohol, did join the eu and did not adopt the euro, did follow the pension referendum although the nuclear power referendum hasnt been followed but that's a good thing if you ask me. Had we done that all nuclear would've been gone in 2010
