Yes or No votes coming in France and Netherlands for EU Constitution



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

A few weeks ago I was sure that France would vote against the EU Constitution but now I'm thinking it's going to win. Even those on the left who don't like it have various reasons for voting "oui" which include getting on board now before the eastern European countries bring in (conservative) religion and just this past weekend the latest I heard was that they want a "yes" so that the UK can vote "no" and Europe will blame the UK for it failing instead of France. (This isn't France for nothing after all.) If there's one thing that the people in France love to do, it's debate and argue so right now this vote is making livelier than ever discussions in a never-ending, debate loving society.

This Sunday France votes and just three days later, the Netherlands votes. Somehow I just don't see all of the countries voting in favor of the new Constitution but it's hard to say who the spoiler is going to be. I must say, I will be surprised if the UK eventually goes ahead with the vote and then approves the Constitution but who knows?
