I think that the first effect is that more ppl will start wondering "Hey! What's going on? Why did they vote for NO? Let's read that Consitution, it might not be that good as we thought it is..." and then more and more ppl will start protesting against that. So who knows? Maybe good things might happen, for example the Constitution might be withdrawn!!! :D

:-| I thikn everyone can have his own opinion about this text.. I don't think it was perfect but actually being pro-Europe [hey living in the Nl would be less easy without this institution] I thini the timing got wrong on the following point:
I think the constitution should have beocme a reality before the union got enlarged to 25 members...

but well, now I wonder what will come next...

I guess taking a look at what our buddy Chirac has planned can be taken as a good indication as to what may come next.


Quote:
M Chirac went on French television last night to deliver a dramatic last-ditch appeal for a ‘yes’ vote. He urged the French people not to punish his Government.


He argued that the constitution would strengthen France’s influence in Europe and reinforce the French social model. Rejecting it would create “divisions and doubts” in Europe when “we need a political Europe capable of bringing about a genuine European power”.


Haha, good stuff, good stuff. I guess Chirac's dream of counter-balancing the U.S. and becoming the world's main focal point may finally be slipping away. You got two years left Chirac, I don't think it's gonna happen lil' buddy. :wink:

Does anyone actually know what is this European Constitution all about, what its content is?

I don't.

Pretty hate machine, it looks like that you ONLY want to cause troubles..just like the Anathema forum..correct me if I am wrong...

Now read this once and for all...

I'm truly sick of all that stuff..Greece this, Greece that, EU this, EU that, USA this, USA that, Russia this, Russia that, communists, christians, talibans, iraq, afganistan, terrorism, oil, coca-cola... So many lies, so much pain, so much suffering, so many many wars AND YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT THE EURO COINS, THE GROWTH FIGURE AND HOW GOOD AND NICE IS THE EUROPEAN UNION and blah blah blah blah...useless stuff. As if the EU is Paradise and civilized whilst the rest of the world is burning in hell... But you, PERSONALLY YOU, don't like people being happy, with no worries, you don't want peace, no good relationships. You always have something BAD to say or write. You joined the TG forum, but you never have to say anything about TG. Nobody forces you to talk about them, but at least you could stop insulting people. Why do you want humanity divided? Why do you put labels? Aren't all the people the same? Don't they bleed the same? Don't they laugh the same? Does it matter if I'm white and greek or black and egyprian or yellow and chinese? What makes me greek? Religion? Language? Way of thinking? WHAT IS GREEK? WHAT IS NOT GREEK? WHY GREEK IS DIFFERENT? HOW MUCH IS GREEK DIFFERENT? WHY DOES IT MATTER IF IT IS DIFFERENT?

On-topic now...

1) I didn't have to wait for you to tell me, that the politicians cheated. It has always been like that and it will be like this forever...

2) Since you care about the money so much, tell me...if everybody goes to the bank and ask for their money, is the bank going to satisfy them all? No!! They just don't have that money, because it doesn't exist! Rich people are rich due to imaginary money, called INTEREST. Everything about money is considered AT LEAST suspicious! Therefore, not only greeks, but as well all bankers etc from all around the world are cheating and stealing, but guess what..they also make the laws..what a coinsidence!!! And guess something else...we (greeks (pffff)) cheated the cheaters!!! Isn't that so sweet?

Sooooo......next time you wanna say something about the greeks, or the turkish, or the chinese, keep in mind my beloved friend that: We all belong to the one and only human race, with the one and only GLOBAL civilization. There is no way to escape this. One day we will stand united, and never shall fall.

As long as France isn't annexed into the future "global civilization" I'm down with it homie. 8)

Yes, I'll even accept Greeks (albeit with a bit of reluctance).

If you say YES, there will be a US of E...I'm against that! Cause Holland is quiet small...other, much larger countries get more rights...and I'm against that!
