Eurocracy

'Eurocracy' was a show dedicated to the referendum on the European constitution (June 1, 2005).

On this date the Dutch could vote for or against an European constitution. But what would be the best decision? 'Eurocracy' provided a solution for people who hadn't made their decision yet.

On Monday, May 30th 2005, Dutch celebrities competed against each other in a spectacular quizshow with questions about Europe and the EU. The two teams (one in favor and one opposed to the constitution) were captained by Jan-Peter Balkenende and Jan Marijnissen (Dutch politicians). Their different views were discussed using themes like 'the Euro', 'Turkey as a member' and 'European regulations'. The show was hosted by Astrid Joosten.
