Could you describe how this is possible in the above setting ?
E.g. after Sweden joined the EU, the Swedes realized how they had been
lied to from the pro-EU propaganda, so now the majority of Swedes regrets
that they entered the EU. Can Sweden leave the EU ? Nope. Can they at
least democratically reject some directives from Brussels ? Neither.
So how do you propose they can "wrestle away from the rulers" ?
