The French may well have voted "non" primarily because they hate Chirac. They probably would have voted "oui" had Chirac urged them to vote "non"!
The Dutch "nee", however, was totally clear and unambiguous and you can't put any spin on that.

At the very first oportunity someone needs to change the system here to that used in Switzerland (i.e. referendums on important constitutional matters and other issues).

With any luck, that will happen right after the imminent EU exit. :twisted:
