EU rejects Belarus elections for the sake of "democracy" after casually ignoring the people's voices in Netherlands, Greece, Ukraine, England and Catalonia
Yes it's that season of the year again, the facade of "democracy" abused for forcing one's own political will on others for the benefit of "the people" over there.
I thought we'd leave violence of and against protesters aside for now, and focus only on the sheer hypocrisy of those who claim to stand for "democracy" while directly been sabotaging and ignoring democratic outcomes for years.
So Brussels is now very angry, oh so angry with the outcome of the elections in Belarus. It is a blow to "democracy" they say and must not be accepted.

So let's take a look at 2017 when Catalonia held a referendum, where a staggering 92.01% voted in favor of independence, which was rewarded with a beat down of protesters and imprisonment of the political leaders.
All of that within that very same "we are pro democracy and anti-violence against protesters" EU mind you, yet

Not convinced? In 2010, Yanukovich was elected president of Ukraine after an undeniable result with 48.95% of the votes.

Democracy Shmemocracy said the "free" West, and supported a coup against the 100% democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014, leaving well over 12.000 people dead. Why, because they "expected more" of him and would stop at nothing to get their little trade deal signed.

Oh, but the war in Ukraine that followed after the coup, MH17 and Crimea are all Russia's fault of course.
Still not convinced? Let's go to 2016 when this time around, the citizens of the Netherlands themselves voted to organize a referendum on post-coup Ukraine having a free trade agreement with the EU. The outcome; A massive 61% voted against it

So no worries hey, pro-democracy EU who oh so cherishes the people's voice will gladly honor the convincing outcome, no? No!

See a pattern emerging yet between the EU and their version of "democracy"? No, try this;
In 2015 Greece overwhelmingly voted against EU meddling in their economy and pensions with their bail out demands. 61.31% of the people voted against EU demands, despite the old boy dictator Juncker's threats that a no vote against EU bail out demands, meant saying no to Europe and the Eurozone as a whole.

Still don't see a pattern emerging? Let's try again; In that same year of the Netherlands referendum, England held a referendum on leaving the EU. A small majority of 51.89% voted to leave. Marginal, but a majority nevertheless. Just like the Netherlands, this was also an advisory referendum, but unlike The Hague, London decided to honor the outcome, though mainly for their own ulterior geo-political motives of course, but England was officially set to leave the EU as per outcome of the referendum.
Oh joy to the EU, the democracy has come? Nope, Brussels literary tried everything from blackmail, sabotage to shameless begging in order to try and convince England of ignoring the referendum results.

Conclusion; EU is to democracy, what a leech is to blood
