I'm betting that the liberal Euro-elites find some way to force their "Constitution" down the throats of the people yet.

Certainly the people's will has never stopped liberals on either side of the Atlantic before when it interfered with their grabs for power.

Well, you could be right. The problem for the Eurocrats is that the fellow in Brussels do not have to face the voters. The national governments, on the other hand do.

This means that in order to implemented it, the major parties in every major member state have to show a United Front against their voters, and keep it up year in and year out.

This time they failed to do that in either France or Holland.

It is a risky strategy, but what is even more risky is to build a "superstate" on quicksand.

Time will tell, but if they do get away with it at least they will have to do so in public.

You must have missed the

Dutch Prime Minister ...pledged to honour the voters' verdict,
which is not legally binding.

Funny, I don't recall seeing that before the vote. It was always "We'll keep voting till we get the desired result."

Reminded me of local school budgets. Or larger city budgets in general.
