“German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) are against the idea of holding referendums on major European policy decisions, as proposed in coalition talks, because this would undermine parliamentary democracy, a senior CDU lawmaker said on Tuesday.  CDU deputy parliamentary leader Guenter Krings, reacting to a document draw up in talks with the Social Democrats on forming a coalition government, told Spiegel magazine’s website: ‘The CDU’s position is clear: we oppose undermining parliamentary lawmaking.’  The document recommends voting on policy decisions that involve transferring powers to Brussels or committing money at EU level.”
