And how do you grade the test? Certainly if there was objective criteria for what would happen in this case (In/Out), there'd be no need for a vote at all!
On top of that, why shouldn't someone be able to vote on the basis of purely not wanting to be in the EU? Or voting with someone based on their perceived moral value? Or any other criteria?
I'm hardly pro-democracy, but this doesn't seem like a democratic solution.

It would have to be on whatever objective facts are available. But in situations like this that could be rather difficult.

IMHO making big decisions based purely on your feelings is always a bad idea.

It's not democratic at all. But I'm just throwing around ideas for interest's sake. Until a provably better system comes around, I'd choose to live in a democratic country.
