Turns out the French and the Dutch have decided that the EU constitution wasn’t all that hot (yeah I missed it when it was all the rage…I had more important things going on immediately in my life). Anyway, turns out that some people are afraid that this could cause problems with their cash flow.
Free Market Fairy Tales has this to say:
The EU Constitution; ummmmm. Now here’s a funny thing that occurred to me at about 1 am this morning, upon returning from an (unsuccessful) fox shooting trip. In the European countries where the ratification process has been put to a popular vote, the electorate have said resoundingly ‘No’. In the countries where ratification has been via a Parliamentary vote, they have said ‘Yes’. Worrying to think how out of step the political class is with the common man in whatever country.
So yeah, the politcal people’s aren’t keeping up with the people in most countries. I’m thinking I shoulda decided to be a politician…hehe. We’ll see about that.
