It appears the EU's ruling elite's definition of democracy does not include the will of the people. I'm amazed anyone would believe the 'Hague' equals the will of the people. I thought that was what the 'vote' did.

“In a way it’s even more important to go for a vote and to say ’Yes’ after this French ’No’,” European Affairs Minister Atzo Nicolai told Reuters in an interview.

"Now that the vote is essentially meaningless, it means even more!"

The upside down screwball logic of a eurinal bureaucrat.

Bump for NO!

That was exactly the first I thought after reading the first line: "The Netherlands wants the European Union to push on with its new constitution even after France rejected it and hopes Dutch voters will back the treaty in a referendum on Wednesday, a minister said on Monday. "

It implies the Netherlands and the Dutch voters are two different things!!!!. Unbelievable!!!!.

My second important thought was after reading the last line: "“In the Dutch situation I have absolutely no plans for a second referendum. I don’t see an opportunity for renegotiating,” he said. “If the Netherlands also says ’No’ then we have a big problem for Europe.”

That's what Frace said too. Now that they have a "non", they are re-considering it. They first want to scare people to say "yes" but if they didn't get it, they will keep having referendums until the "yes" win. Then the people will never be given another opportunity to say "no" in the future.

“Most people in the Netherlands don’t want to just follow the French example, perhaps on the contrary, perhaps the people will say: ’Why should we do what France has done? We take our own position and that’s hopefully a ’Yes’.”

Everybody hates the French, but this is no time to vote 'yes' just to prove you're not French.:)

“Most people in the Netherlands don’t want to just follow the French example, perhaps on the contrary, perhaps the people will say: ’Why should we do what France has done? We take our own position and that’s hopefully a ’Yes’.”

And if that ain't a precious little plea to save his vastly overpaid job, I dunno what is.

Ain't they cute when they grovel?

Notice how they pull the 'hate france' out of the bag when it's necessary?

You got it!

That's why I choked at the "Europe is stunned" headline on the French vote.

The global elites and their main stream media murmadons truly believe that the world revolves around them.

Continue the 'no' votes against the ruling socialist Eurocrats.
