I would personally say that it is a little bad/wrong to call it a constitution, or if it is meant as one, it is a really bad one. It has in many parts nothing i relation to what should be in a constitution. It also goes into quite details of things like how countries should be run in specific (for example economic) cases, something that in my opinion does not fit into a constitution. It is in my opinion (although I must admit I have not yet read it completely or in detail) to a be a patch work of many speicific things individual countries have lobbied to get into it and thus ends up as a very bad thing as far as a constitution goes.
As a voting deal, yes, it is a yes or no thing. Like in many votings (be there 2 or more options, like for parliment with a limited number of candidates), you have to stick with the options in existance. Take whatever option you feel is the best or less bad. Not much more to do, there will never be an option that everyone (or even a majority) will agree upon every single option as "the best" and nothing wrong.
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
