Quick, let's send them our illegal aliens and our unions to help out.

The unwashed masses keep getting in the way of the EU power brokers.
Can someone summarize the advantage of joining an "EU" to any given nation? It seems to me that countries would basically become States in the US sense, ruled by a central EU government. Why give up sovereignty in order to compete 1 to 1 with the US and China?
Croatia is Catholic and Turkey is Muslim, but for the EUrocrats it does not make difference as Europe is just a random cluster of states. Religion has nothing to do with the European culture.

"The Dutch people won against this crazy constitution," said Tiny Kox, a member of the small Socialist Party, which was pivotal in the campaign opposing ratification.
A good name for a socialist!
Send the waaaaaaaaahmbulance to pick up all the crushed globalists ...
Europe was in a crisis long before these votes of the past few days.
Lucky for the Dutch and French they signed on to Kyoto. Otherwise they would be left with nothing to help the business side of their economies.
>>>>"The Dutch "No" vote of 61.6 percent was even more decisive than the nearly 55 percent scored by French opponents of the treaty. Turnout was also a strong 62.8 percent, well above the 39 percent in last year's European parliament election."
Probably the most important paragraph, for analysis. Sixty percent MORE people voted today - it is highly likely that nearly all of them voted No - many of them couldn't care less about voting "for" some fool bureaucrat and the majority of them probably didn't even bother last year - this 60% just sent a very clear message, "WE WANT OUT".
Europe's pretty much as it was 72 hours ago. The dream of a centrally-controlled superstate is the only thing that's in crisis.
I could swear that a week ago the Euro was going to reduce the US to third world status. The empty bloc.
Try a constitution that starts, "We the people of ... in order to form a more perfect union do ordain...."

IOW, forget inviting in the Muslims, nobody in their right minds wants them included.
Evidently, the EU elite are going to keep on having these referendums in countries that vote "no" until they finally win one. On the other hand, in any countries voting "yes",
there will be no further votes and no reconsiderations will be allowed. Like the Hotel California, you can check but you can't ever check out. (Kinda like the U.S., no?)
