As stated in the introduction, much research has been conducted since 2005 about the constitutional referendum and the reasons why a majority of the Dutch population voted 'no', but studies about developments after 2005 are not numerous, while Eurosceptic opinions have been increasing due to the problems the EU faced and is currently facing. The referendum in 2016 is a good indication of these Eurosceptic sounds, as it is initiated due to dissatisfaction regarding the functioning of the EU.
