Heads I win, tails you loose. :(

It takes only one win to remove our rights but once they’re gone you’ll never get them back.

Yes. The anchor chain got broken sometime ago. It's still there, but nobody want it anymore.

Or, as is also seen elsewhere, wildly popular ideas simply get curiously stuck.

Of course. They literally spell their playbook out for you:

“We decide something, then put it out there and wait for a while to see what happens.

If there is then no great outcry and no uprisings, because most people do not even understand what has been decided, then we continue—step by step, until there is no turning back.”

— Jean-Claude Juncker
