If I were European I would have voted no. A Constitution is something that it is important to get right the first time and this Constitution was bad.

"NO"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

If you guys are concerned with whether or not the EU constitution favors your particular political leaning, why not include a mechanism of amending it?
BTW, for those who dote on how smoothly the nascent US of A adopted it's constitution, remember that the US actually had an entirely different constitution initially, but was forced to scrap it after only a few years. Perhaps the EU could adopt a "trial constitution" one requiring re-ratification after 5 to 10 years. Of course, that allows particularily willful nationalities to hold the entire body politic hostage by threatening to sabotage the ratification process, a state not unlike the current predicament. Let's face it, you're just not ready for it. You don't have sufficient unity."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!

After watching the ambassador of the EU on the Newshour tonight I now see why Brussels is so hated. He was there presumably to simply waste the time of the interviewer while ensuring that no one with a contradicting viewpoint got to be interviewed instead. A doublespeak filibuster. If he's the sort who regularly comes out of Brussels then I think that not only a no vote is in order, but perhaps a complete rethinking of the current treaties as well.He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

not that we'll ever get a vote on it over here :/"The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
