Democracy dashed in its youth

The Czech people are to be denied a say in their coming complete subjugation to a corrupt EU super state by means of the EU Reform Treaty. What pressure/perks have their parliamentarians been offered? Read one report in the International Herald Tribune, from here. Note particularly these amazing voting numbers, unanimity such as this in lawmaking bodies is often a certain sign of tyranny: Of the 150 lawmakers present in the 200-seat chamber, 108 favored the vote in parliament and none opposed it. On this blog Democracy is a word used regarding a form of governance where the electorate can periodically and bloodlessly remove from office those who govern them all other forms are tyranny. This was all as defined by Karl Popper.
