Andrew Coughlan makes a thorough analysis of the"Constitution" and for those who are interested in what's happening in Europe it is well worth reading the whole article, although somewhat long.
Note that the text has been slightly changed since the version he reviewed.
The all important conclusion remains:
The new EU, founded on its own State Constitution, in fact becomes a new European State in the world community of States. A young State and a new one, a weak State perhaps, but a State nonetheless, with virtually all the essential features of a State, in which the existing Member States are reduced to the constitutional status of regions or provinces. Simultaneously the EU Constitution becomes the fundamental source of legal authority within Europe, supplanting the Constitutions of the Member States as the ultimate source of legal power.
How any politician or political scientist can state that this is no major change is beyond the pale of the comprehensible.
However, Mr Blair, Senor Zapatero, Mr Goran Persson and others are saying just that. On the other hand they are also telling us that it would be a major catastrophe if the "treaty" isn't passed.
It is time for us to throw both the Constitution and those politicians on the scrap heap!

Is there a way under the EU Constitution for a member state to secede?

question: Will all the EU states grant prostitution and drug use as legal as they do in the Netherlands?
Will there be a crack down on supposed "extremist" right wing groups in the UK and Spain like they do in Germansy?
Will frances "anti-bigotry" laws be the law of the land for other states or just in France?
