"The idea for the EU constituion came from the French and German governments, and the 108-person committee was headed by the former French president, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing !"
The idea has been underway since at least 1969-70 when I lived in Germany.
The original smaller idea concerned itself with lowering barriers for trade, easing border crossings, etc.
Along the way, it has grown to involve common currency, a huge bureacracy, common laws, uniform measurements, common foreign policy.
So when a nation rejects it saying they are giving up their sovereignty, they are so correct.
The objections come from the right and the left.
They need to go back to square one, and return to the smaller, original idea. People may approve that.

I would. I am happy to work together but I don;t want an EU Parliament. if each natio had a representative it would be a hell of a lot wuicker and easier to agree on things.
