I never would think to say that but...
THANK YOU FRANCE!!!! :-)
The French are no different than any other people - they believe in their superiority over other peoples.
Attempting to create a system of government that ignores that perception will always fail if left to a vote by the people. (Other countries' citizens might not believe themselves to be "superior" but would still perceive themselves as individuals and fight like hell to retain their identity.)
The drafters of the EU knew this and intentionally tried to keep the effects of the "constitution" (what a perverse use of that word) from the people of each country. All will reject it if they know what it does to them.
