Intuitively I had expected such a similar outcome - with something around 50 %. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I wonder what's going on in the next weeks ...

Nice voting for Tony Blair ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

maybe France is considering joining Asia since Australia is still sitting on the fence wondering if they're European or Asian. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> as for New Zealand, the question has been put to rest; they're Middle Earth. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

I like french people. Always so revolutionary... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Would I be wrong when I claim most voters, pro and contra had no clue what exactly the voted for or against?

^_^ Eh!! whats this topic all about ??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

What DID they vote about again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />???

Übereil

they all know it's about the new european law, but do they have a clue what's in it?

It was a voting about the european constitution. 25 countries must voted with yes to accept the european constitution. France voted against the constitution <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

pffft see how other countries voted yes with a obvious majority, what reason could the french h, maybe we should build a giant boat and drag france to join australia <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

j/k

what then?
Spain would be an island!
damm all those dutchmen drifting in the see with theire "caravans" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great text, hardly understood any of the important words <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />!

What does it mean? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> In reality? If they'd voted yes, what would have happened in France then?

Übereil

this would mean all european countries will have the same constitution, with different cultures, it's not evident that it will suit all those countries. But it should be no problem for France...

Aparently most voted against becouse the goverment was pro.
And the French goverment of today is not so popular... to say the least. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
A lot of ppl just wanted to get back at the goverment. Some voted no even without knowing what it was about.

Untrue
The french people who voted no yesterday made this choice because they did not agree with the new european law.
The president Chirac asked to the people for voting yes but in the Opposition, the main leaders as Lionel Jospin, also asked to the people for voting yes.


Do you mean that the french people are stupid and that they can't understand the texts of the new law ?

In france the government let the people choose by themselves.
It's why there was a referendum yesterday.
In some other european countries the people did not have any choice because their parliament said yes to the new law without asking them if they agree or not.
With this referendum our government made something intelligent and good.

Maybe the belgium people or the german people think that the french people are stupid for having voted no and that they are unable to read but it is our own choice and i am proud to be french.


Only 10 countries have a referendum.
Spain has voted yes and France no.
Wait and see for the votes of the other countries

PS : Sorry for my bad english. I am better for making jokes than for explaining serious ideas.

Actually
It ware French goverment leaders themselves that said that they ware afraid people would vote no becouse people wanted to get back at them.
It's been all over the news.
And there have been intervieuws on tv with people who said that they voted no becouse they don't like and don't trust the goverment.
So what I said is true !

And fyi personally I think a referendum is great. The Belgian goverment is prolly to scared to organise one.

I am french and i live in France

Yes?
I'm just saying what I seen on tv news and read in newspapers.

*edit*
It's even on the news now.
"French no causes big political crisis"

The goverment will change. The prime minister will have to go. He was unpopular.

Don't believe everything you see on TV news or read in the newspapers.

Yes the french government is not popular.
Yes the Opposition would have a lot of chances to win if there would be elections today.

But yesterday the vote was Only against the european constitution.

55 % of the french people think that this constitution is not good.
