What would your vote be for the european constitution?

[Robert]

Well, what would your vote be?

[BeBMan]

Either "Yes" or "Blank". Yes because I don't like the current Nice stuff, and because I think the con is an improvement in some aspects compared to Nice. Blank because I think some criticism is valid (but not everything sold as criticism is).

We're voting on it this September, and it'll be the 6th national referendum on EU in which I'm voting. (Previous referenda were in 1972 (I was too young then), 1986, 92, 93, 98 and 2000)

For the first time in those 6 referenda, I'll be voting NO - despite my party's pro-constitution stance.

I'm opposed to the idea of a joint constitution, and I believe the EU has already reached a sufficient stage of political integration between member states without the constitution treaty.

I'm also increasingly wary of the cultural elitists' declared agenda of trying to mold the EU into something it was never intended to be, namely an opposing political entity towards the USA. An agenda which is often boasted, more or less openly, in favour of the constitution treaty in the domestic debate. I'm not having any of that.

While I know this treaty isn´t perfect I´m voting yes. Because I really don´t see an alternative. A real " US style constitution" couldn´t work properly without totally giving up your own national constitution. That just isn´t possible in Europe, the Brits know it, the French know it and the Dutch with our "grondwet" know it too. We´ll have to take it and work from there.


To others this comprise may be a bunch of diplomatic legalese with some claptrap but i also see people.

other country - no

[Japher]

I'm against the EU in general. I think it's a bad idea and will not succeed. So, sure, a constitution sounds great! Only leads to your eventual demise

I disagree.

But then the last six poll options really don't make much sense... the distinction should be EU countries, not European countries

The EU has become one nation already? I missed the news.

In all my life, I've never heard anyone being in favour of that.

currently - no, after modifications - yes.

[Kuciwalker]

Yes, to sabotage you guys

Whatever result keeps the Euros economically and geopolitically weaker.

I would have voted NO*, but after hearing the French ***** and moan about how the whole constitution is an Anglo-Saxon plot to subjugate Europe to free market liberal policies I swung over to the YES camp.

*The whole thing is just too verbose and should be a simple framework.

[kronic]

No or blank. I like the idea of a constitution, but this one is BS.
