Well Mr. Giscard, it's called a democracy. Although France pretends to have one, it is elitist's like yourself that are out of touch with reality and the real problem with the EU. Thanks, from America.

"It is not possible for anyone to understand the full text".That, in itself, is the reason all of Europe should have rejected it. Can you imagine voting for something you didn't understand? Why, it would be as if you were the US Congress voting on the budget.

"It is not possible for anyone to understand the full text".To me that in and of itself sounds like a pretty good reason to trash the damn thing.

"It is not possible for anyone to understand the full text". This is precisely what happens over here all the time. Can anyone say Campaign Finance Reform? Pass a law on bullet points, hide the facts, and then let the courts enforce your draconian limitations on liberty. These Euro pols are quick students.

We would have a lot less government regulation if our representatives looked at the legislation on which they vote. If each voter got copies we wouldn't have nearly as many truely bad laws.

three-part, 448-article document Cripes, the US Constitution is four pages, plus one more for the Bill of Rights. Europe is creating a mess.

LOL! Is this the same Giscard d'Estaing, who boasted that the new Constitution was easily comprehensible since he wrote it himself? The idiot didn't know what accessible meant. I find it hard to believe one man wrote the whole thing and his judgment on the French people is less a reflection them than it is on d'Estaing and the entire French political class that believes they're more knowledgeable than ordinary French men and women. Its quite a let down to discover you're not the Father Of The United States Of Europe after all!

Giscard regrets constitution sent to French people for voteYeah, better the peons don't have a say in how they are governed, since the elite obviously know what's best for them.

One crucial mistake was to send out the entire three-part, 448-article document to every French voter, said Mr Giscard. Over the phone he had warned Mr Chirac already in March: "I said, 'Don't do it, don't do it'". "It is not possible for anyone to understand the full text". Or perhaps they DID.
