He admits it, but will he allow it?

French president Emmanuel Macron's admitted that if a vote were held on whether France should leave the EU, the public would probably vote in favor of Frexit:
French president Emmanuel Macron has made a shock admission that the French public would “probably” vote to leave the European Union if given the chance in a referendum.

The globalist poster boy made the comments during an interview with BBC presenter Andrew Marr.

“You always take a risk when you have such a referendum, just ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ in a very complicated broadcast,” he told the broadcaster.

“If France had had a referendum it might have had the same result,” suggested Marr.

“Yeah, probably,” admitted the president — to the surprise of many observers.

The 40-year-old appeared to catch himself as soon as the words were out of his mouth, however, adding quickly: “Probably, in a similar context, but our context was very different, so I don’t want to make any, I mean, take any bets.”

He assured Marr that, in the event of a French referendum, he “would have fought very hard to win [for the European Union].”

The last time the French people were allowed a vote on the European Union was when they were asked to vote for the European Constitution in 2005, with 55 per cent of voters rejecting it.

(The Constitution was subsequently repackaged as the Lisbon Treaty and passed by the French government without a public vote.)
I think it was the awful Jacques Chirac who took charge of that vote, and slapped the public in the face by taking what was initially a public referendum and turning it into a governmental one that completely disfavored the public who didn't want it. As for Macron, does this suggest he'll do everything he can to avoid a public vote on something he doesn't want? If he refuses, he's only compounding an already poor image for himself.
