Quote:

Tony Blair and other European leaders are awaiting a decision next week by a few thousand French Socialists which could destroy the European Union constitution - and save the Prime Minister the humiliation of defeat in a British referendum on the document.

Come on the people of France, this will show that not even the supposed biggest fans of this wretched EU experiment are behind the project. While it would save Blair some pain later on, this would be a massive blow to the EU.

Quote:

Other, more extreme left-wing parties in France have already rejected the constitution as an Anglo-Saxon, ultra-capitalist conspiracy that would destroy the European "welfare state" model and outlaw any attempt to adopt "true" socialist policies. The far-right National Front, and parts of Mr Chirac's own moderate right, condemn the constitution in much the same terms as British Eurosceptics, as an erosion of national sovereignty and an invitation to statist interference in the economy.

Chickens are now coming home to roost. By trying to lie their way to implementing this farce, they have alienated everyone. From far right through to far left, nobody wants anything do with it. The political class has been caught with it's pants down!
