EU constitution not wanted, dead or alive.

Good news for Neil Kinnock, not all Europeans are ignorant, just the French and Dutch. Luxemburgers voted yes to the EU constitution by 56.52% to the Noes 43.48%. A resounding victory until you realise that this represents a difference of just 30,000 votes given such a small electorate.

I assume the Luxembourg Prime Minister's threat to resign if the country voted 'No' did not affect the outcome nor should it be considered blackmail.

New life has potentially been breathed into the corpse of the EU constitution.
