> Netherlands + France say no to european constitution

Why is that a bad thing? The constitution would be a major setback for democratic process in EU, where the actual governance is already too far removed from voter.

I'm not saying that voting it down was wrong. The same would have happened if we germans hat a chance to vote on that. But it proves the point isn't it?

Well yes, it's just that it was on the list with other items supposedly illustrating a backwards/un-liberal voting pattern.

But sure, your point was clear.

Well that's actually true. But i guess that voting the pattern was not intended to be "people voting down good things" but "people voting to prohibit changes"
