I'm afraid I removed this pretty pie chart:

Pie chart indicating the majority vote against the Constitution

On two main grounds:

The captions aren't even English.
It's redundant and mildly insulting my intelligence, such as it is. You are not going to convince me a glitzy 3D highlighted pie chart comparing all of two percentages aids the understanding.

I'm probably offending the person who made it, for which due apologies, but I really really hate redundant pictures. It's a pet peeve. I'm getting treatment for it. JRM · Talk 21:51, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

What the hell happened to this article? Someone vandalised the hell out of it.--Zorbo 13:52, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Is that bit about the alledged bias in the Internet stemwijzer really necessary and deserving of the prominence it gets in the article? It looks like some kind of conspiracy theory.

The Netherlands would become "the Switzerland of Europe.". I think this is not quite correct, there is only one Switzerland of Europe. :-)

"Only in 26 of the 467 Dutch municipalities was there a majority on the subject. In 446 municipalities, the majority voted against." 26 + 446 = 472, not 467. 71.235.184.247 (talk) 23:38, 10 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
