I wasn't ranting...
I was simply stating the truth... most of the views stated commnig from the radio that's playing in my ear...
A 25 (though possibly 30) country super state (working to common goals efficiently) would be the worlds largest tradecentre, and the worlds largest super power, (in terms of military)... ther is no way even you could possibly deny that...
it's a very idealogical view, (the countries will never work together). but if it were to ever happen, it woul irreversably shift the balance of power in theo world...
so far as the economy, most independant public broadcasters (BBC radio, times and Guardian) have all indicated that the most likely reasons for the 'non' votewas (as I posted)...
dissilusions about the growth of europe, especially the inclusion of middle eastern countries that weren't gographicaly even in europe...
dissilusions about unemployment, which is at an all tmie high in france. (and it has been said -and was raised in Britain, that eastern block countries would most likely fill job shortages for both skilled and unskiled workers, simply because the standards of livnig and basic amenities and wagesare better in western european countires... -sadly unemployed wesern europeans don't migraet to eastern block countries, so they stay unemployed.
I didn't brand all french people as xenophobes
and I accuse pople such as mark, who think the constitution was about the euro taking away our individuality as being ignorant because they have disaprooved of something without haveing found out fully about it...
I did do my research, and in this case I count my research as switching on the radio, where I can't help but hear about it, watching news 24, where you can't help but hear about it... and sitting in the park during the sun on sunday and monday reading the papers.
so in short no I can't provide links, but had you actually read my post, I never said anything about employment levels in germany, (though I know they are low). I mentioned spcifically one country, the one cuontry that set the standard for voting no, and suggested reasons (allbe them reconstituted from other sources).
the EU constitution was very simillar in principal the the American constitution, it set about trying to order a disorganised mess of failing localised economies, is set about trying to frm common laws and rights that would cover the whole EU, and tried to set about rules for a common EU parliment...
frankly I stand by the views I stated that the 'non' vote was more based in dislike for their own government (President Jac chiraq's popularity has been doing down since he was re-elected)... in fact even the french government know was more about the popularity of polititians than the content of the consitution, -hence the massive reshuffle just days after the 'non' vote...
a reshuffle that included the firing of the french prime minister...
