They should ditch the entire Union, not just the constitution
It seems as if the French are going to do something really smart and reject the grotesque proposed so-called European so-called consitution, which in fact is flagrant attempt to destroy the nation-states that made Europe the most powerful continent in the world.
There is absolutely nothing right about the European Union even in its present state, and the proposed constitution would make things even worse. The Union is, by design, a repulsive scheme that enriches a bureaucratic elite by sucking the member states dry.
I hope the French nix the constitution, and I also hope Europeans in general follow through by dismantling the Union and replacing it with a far less ambitious but way more productive customs union.
