Telling the story of the European Citizens' Consultations, Europe's largest ever dialogue with randomly selected citizens in all Member States about the future of Europe.
The Lisbon treaty's "citizen's initiative" tells us all we need to know about the EU.
Even though there is no legal basis for a European "citizenship" and such a thing does not exist (see the recent German Constitutional Court ruling)..."citizens" will be "allowed" to gather one MILLION signatures and present their petition to the UN-ELECTED commission who are then free to ignore it !
This is a punch in the face for those who still believe in democracy.
