time for some european politics

[eppie]

As you all know the coming time there will be some referenda in several european countries to ask the people if they want to have the (a) european constitution.

France was up last week (non) and today it is our turn in Holland. (ours is by the way an "advising" referendum, so the governement does not need to go with the result.

Anyway as you can imagine lots of people vote yes or no for different valid and non-valid reasons.

My first contra is here that we are asked a simple question (so it seems) but the answer is not so simple. What if you are for a constitution but not for this one. Or what if you are against some points in this constitution.

And the second is that they are a bit late, first everything is decided just by the government (EU, currency etc.) and now in the end they ask us if we want a constitution.

So we have seen politicians trying to win votes with lots of strange arguments.
Let's say we have seen the worst face of politics.

Or maybe it was all meant to be.....just to let the people get more involved and interested in politics.


ANy thoughts?

p.s. this thread is not just for europeans :D
