Wow, the Euro elite seems determined to ratify the constitution no matter how many states vote no. EU officials are now saying the two no votes does not mean the constitution is automatically dead. What? They would not have the audacity to back door the European people would they?
The new constitution would give the EU a foreign minister and a full time president. The constitution is also worded in such a way that it would have to be serious changes in Europe down the line. There is a clause that says:
"The Union shall have competence to define and implement a common foreign and security policy, including the progressive framing of a common defence policy." (from BBC)
The EU officials swear that common foreign policy does not mean common just sort of common.
People opposed the constitution for a variety of reasons, for example many French voted no because they do not want free markets. Others did not want to give their sovereignty to Brussells. What ever their reasons I am happy to see it rejected.
The U.S of Europe is dead. Props to Europe!
