Left-wing opponents argued that the treaty would not protect France's cherished social protections and public services, and would open the door to unfettered capitalism and trample on workers' rights.
If only that were true ...

This might be the first rational thing the French have done in centuries.

EU officials had said that even if France rejected the treaty, efforts to ratify it in other countries would proceed, and they have been vague on whether the treaty might be somehow renegotiated or submitted to a repeat vote. The EU Constitution will not pass if any of 25 members states does not ratify it.

Maybe the courts will just put it into effect despite the vote. That's the way it works over here, isn't it?

Those damn Anglos are to blame for this.
To: Libloather
Backers said the constitution, which European leaders signed in October, would streamline EU operations and decision-making, and make the bloc more accessible to its 450 million citizens.Only a bureaucrat could make a straight-faced assertion that, at 500+ pages, an EU constitution would 'streamline' anything.

I wouldn't call it that.
The French didn't like this because it was too "right wing" for them!

Geeez!
I wish I saw Chirac at the moment!

Now watch that toad Chirac spin smooth-talk, soothe-talk, cajole and threaten his hapless subjects into getting conned yet again...
Shame doesn't exist in the dictionary of socialist politicians
