    Can you easily understand it at the age you can vote?
    Depends on your intelligence and strength of character.
    Does it improve human rights and freedoms in the EU?
    Not now, it doesn't. But I tend to think it would have done so.
    Or better still would it turn the EU into a sweatshop so we Aussies can get cheap t-shirts
    We don't trade with Australia pal, it's not worth it. We send our tourists there, a bit like in the old days eh?

    That would explain the aggresive tone of the rest of your answer.

    Not my strength of character as it is not my consitution. I think an intelligent choice is to never say yes to something you do not understand.
    An intelligent group of leaders of character should have been able to make a constitution that was legible, prose worthy and inspiring. To make a documentation that apparently reads like a video manual is not an inspiring feat.

    Using pal in that context is normally seen as quite aggresive.

    So do you deny that Australian goods are sold in EU like wine and wool?
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Sorry PJ, but that does show how little you know of the situation over here. It is France which has been the 'leader' in the EU process for the WHOLE TIME. Because of this vote they are now weaker than ever.

    Why also would you want the situation to start 'tumbling', that makes no sense.
    Hehe, i dont believe in a united Europe. There are more people than you think who are against this. As this vote shows, dont assume anything.

    Most Americans are against it, since they believe one super power is enough......

    It's not really a constitution, just a summary of all the treaties made before. Rejecting it is like asking for exiting the union.
