I think I heard on the radio this morning that it would take six nations to reject adoption of the EU constitution. Does that mean if less than six reject it, that it would apply to countries that have said no? Anyone know?

No. As I understand it, if >1 and <6 reject it, then it goes to the "European Council" (whatever that is) and then they'll decide what to do.

Totally nebulous. It's dead, or will be after tomorrow's dutch vote.

[CasearianDaoist]

That is not true. It only takes 1. That was some idiot in Brussels mouthing off.

To totally kill this "constitution" off deader than a doornail requires 6 no's. If 1-5 say "no" there is some possibility of renegotiation or something like that. However, given that France & Germany are the two "most influential" (not my belief) of the EUers, France's NO carries almost veto power, as far as I can tell... Not formally, but effectively.

The Dutch "no" by itself, in addition to France's, is going to send them all into a real tizzy.
