The EU Constitution debacle continues

62% of the Dutch voted "no" against the beast. It's not that people (for the most part) are against the EU, it's just that this entire process has lacked any link to democracy and is just the wet dream of the European political class who has failed miserably to educate the population and explain why a constitution is needed and how it will benefit the local populations. This watered down monster is now definitely dead in the water after the rejection by two of the founders in Europe.

I don't know yet how the Dutch will respond but Chirac's answer to his own failure was to dump the government and bring in a yes man who is unpopular both on the left and the right and who could not be any more of an establishment person. The rejections have had a lot to do with people in Europe being fed up with the establishment making decisions without interaction with voters. Hmm, who sees a problem here?
