#1 How 'bout re-running the election in the countries that said "yes?"

#2 It's dead Jim.

I suggest we'd have ample time to write a new Constitution until 2007. I volunteer.

I also promise that it won't have more than... say 20 pages. Maybe less.

#3 I certainly wish you could / would, TGA. It's an idea which won't go away, now that there's money on the table, so doing it right, and scrapping the bureaucratic nightmare that they've constructed thus far should be the priority, not trying to fix or force the phonebook.

#4 The phonebook certainly reads better than the current constitution.

#5 Hell, TGA. The US taxcode reads better than your constitution.

#6 Geez, mmurray, that's not very nice.

TRUE, but not nice. ;-p

#9 Until people can sing the Preamble of the EU Constitution, it will be worthless.

"In Seventeen-Eighty-Seven, I'm told, our Founding Fathers did agree...." -- Lyn Ahrens, "The Preamble". Knowledge is power, you know.

#10 Maybe the question that Herr Schussel should be asking is why did the electorate in France and the Netherlands reject the constitution? Of course, that may interfere with the bureaucrats' agenda. Heaven forbid that they would have to torch the old and rewrite.
