EU constitution, part VI

The BBC News is running an article, EU admits constitution is on ice, in which they quote the European Commission President as saying he doesn't expect to see the EU constitution go through soon.

The Commission spent Tuesday "brainstorming" at a chateau in southern Belgium about the future of Europe.

Mr Barroso insisted on Wednesday that the EU should not be nostalgic for the constitution, but should make the most of the existing treaty framework.

In a democracy if people don't vote the way they're supposed to, the best thing for the elected leadership to do is ignore the election results. Paying any attention to the people you theoretically represent is a complete waste of time.
