Hello, I'm Saddhiyama. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dictatorship, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Saddhiyama (talk) 14:35, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Saddhiyami http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HanScOYhyuE

Nigel Farge calls the EU a dictatorship and some dictators. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HanScOYhyuE The word is in common usage to describe the EU Even now EU flags are being burned in cyprus and swastikas painted on them.


 * Thanks for providing those links. Unfortunately I can't see any reason why this example should be singled out, if we should mention all the examples of institutions being called "dictatorships" (whether the accusation is true or not) we would not have enough room on the servers of Wikipedia. It could be noteworthy to mention, in a general sense, that the word is often applied in a derogatory way when people are opposed to decisions made by various entities. But we would need reliable secondary sources that states exactly that in such general terms, not individual examples. --Saddhiyama (talk) 16:06, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

In your defination it says For some scholars, a dictatorship is a form of government that has the power to govern without consent of those being governed. In the UK the people have never been given a referendum on whether they want to be in the EU There was a referendum on the common market in 1975 as a trade organisation. But never on the EU. If people dont have a say on those who make their laws then surely fits the defination. I'm not asking for the entry to say everyone but just agree that some do genuinly view the EU as a dictatorship Rightly or wrongly the defination has come to mean that for some people.
