EU constitution, part V
The Dutch, like the French, decided against the proposed EU consitution. Forbes posted a short write up of some statements by European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, who made a good point:
'I think the major debate that is needed in Europe is bigger than the one about the constitution itself. It's a question about what path to follow,' Barroso said.
Seems to me it would be hard to get hundreds of millions of people to agree on any path whose basic specifications run to 265 A4 pages. Maybe that's why the nations opening the question up to all voters are finding it tough to garner agreement.
