#3 The Dutch vote is purely consultative, but politicians have said they will take the result into consideration when it comes to a parliamentary vote.

#4 The politicians who don't take the popular will as voiced in this referendum into consideration will likely not be employed politicians for much longer. Holland is not France.

#5 "I am putting my money on the [28.6%] 'yes' vote, I am optimistic,"

#6 The Dutch are a "consensual" society - it is called the Polder consensus. If this votes turns out to be a negative then the parliment will not approve the EU constitution. It really is that simple. I spent a lot of time in Holland in recent years. The van Gogh killing was a huge wakeup call to the very strong middle and upper income classes there. They control the political power and the media.
