Thanks to EU bureaucrats, on rare occasions, our citizens can taste the respect they deserve in a real democracy. If we want to metaphorically place the boiled and fried flavors on the table of truth, it is also worth giving an example from the field of gastronomy. It cannot be disputed that the flavor of the soup made from vegetables picked in small gardens (member countries) is forced by the quick preparation of the version of the soup cube made with hot water.
Deviation from the starting point of popular sovereignty is not allowed in politics, but its use as a "basic material" is absolutely necessary for good governance.
That is why the intellectual patriots of CÖF-CÖKA always start from the principle of the sovereignty of the people. We believe that the practice of "asking the people" is an unavoidable element of public welfare. When the Hungarian government asks for opinions on the fate of the people in its country, it is not the first time that it is light years ahead of the decision-makers sitting in the ivory tower in Brussels. The direct opinion of the citizens of any nation is a timely fresh ingredient as a strong support for their interests.
All those who do not agree with the importance of the national consultation are making a mistake because they do not wish to represent the interests of the population based on their party interests. Consider that consultation is an effective tool in the case of government by any party, in the representation of our sovereign interests.
CÖF-CÖKA agrees with filling out the questionnaires of the national consultation. The freely given answers to the questions are our nation's concoction that can be put on the menu of the Union.
