Sweden joined EU with a 52.3-47.7 vote. Malta's vote was 53.6-46.4. Should those countries have another round of voting as well before they are admitted to EU?


As it turns out, Malta did just that - the referendum result was not accepted by the opposition party, and it was settled by an early general election.


Same in the Uk really.


If it turned out that it will be horrible costly mess then sure, you'd want to ask again if they still want to do it.
