They voted wrong so they'll have to do it again and again until they get it right.

This is good but 55% isn't exactly a landslide either

Wonder what compromise France wants

Excellent news.

EU will stop to exist as we know it in 5 to 10 years. They will be back to independent states with loose economic relations.

There is absolutely no way that Chirac can impose it now.

Don't worry, they'll be given another opportunity to correct this. And another. And another. As may times as it takes to get the result the elites want.

"RIGHTTHINGFORTHEWRONGREASONS"

Some of it was for the wrong reasons, but not all. Alot of it was wanting to maintain France's independence.

I guess Chirac will have to declare martial law to enforce the EU constitution for the good of the people.

VIVE LA FRANCE!

ALLONS ENFANTS DE LA PATRIE.....

(at least today they did something right, certainly for their own reasons, but that is what I would like to see, each electorate, each country taking its own decisions.)
