French leaders say EU treaty vote is lost

French leaders say EU treaty vote is lost Big News Network Thursday 26th May, 2005 (UPI)

France's ruling party leader concedes the country's voters will defeat the European Union constitution in the referendum Sunday, reports the Times of London.

The thing is lost, Nicolas Sarkozy of the Union for a Popular Movement told French ministers during a meeting, the report said. He also reportedly accused French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin of leading a feeble campaign.

The ministers privately told The Times that Britain will drop its commitment to a referendum if France or the Netherlands votes against the constitution.

French voters feel the treaty has already given too many concessions to Britain, and the ministers see no likelihood of the government being able to put a renegotiated treaty to the country, the Times said.

The newspaper said British Prime Minister Tony Blair would instead have to use Britain's imminent EU presidency to save those parts of the constitution that can be enforced without a treaty.

Oh, what a defeat for the French plans of Euro dominance. To think their own people are throwing a monkey wrench in the march to a single Europe, and after the French Government worked so hard to set things up just right so that France Germany would have dominance in fact if not in law!

Its good to see that perhaps the French people have a shred of common sense even if their leaders are corrupt crap weasels.

Its too bad a few more countries didn't have the backbone to stand up against this hopelessly flawed constitution which rips all power out of the hands of the people and creates a new Aristocracy of the elite!!

Europe is in a perfect position to pick up the Original US Constitution and create a country out of countries just as we did in the 1700s, when this continent was composed of a 13 free and independent countries.

But that will never happen, because to do so would be to admit our model was right and that would never sit well with the Euros in general but more specifically it would be an anathema to the elite that are trying to put themselves in a position of power for the next 500 years.

Leave it to French voters to have such anitpathy for the French that they will screw up the constitution that would have allowe dthem to dominate Europe.

BWAHAHAHA.

I think the reason is that the Poles have never given up their God for the gods of Europe. That is what causes them to understand that their well being is in some measure tied to their National entity.

They aren't afraid or ashamed to work and their values system is more intact than what we see in most other Nations.

God reward them!
