It was a coup d'etat and the french saw that.

No, veto right still existed in the 'council of ministers' , which means they can do very little without the individual nations ' permissions.

I think the Bolkenstein directive was evil though, a clear case of the commission exceeding its delegated authority. That more than anything killed the constitution.

The 1million people weren't about the right to protest, if 1million signed a petition it would force the commission/parliament to 'look' at it., and try to implent it. You can always protest, write to your member of parliament, your own parliament, the commission, and if it's really serious you could go to the Justice office in luxemburg.

Mon amis mon chevalier! Forget everything bad I ever said about you! Now can we please team up and retake belgium? You can have Brussels.

You can try, it will give us an excuse to finally take the rest of the Schelde. We still produce some of the best weapons in the world.

Sure, but our army doesn't usually kill people though, it's a shame.

Unless you can join a UN mission of course

Yeah, a sad day for europe. But it was very naiv to think that the constitution could be passed by 25 states without problems. I hope there is a plan B.

**Alexander the Pretty Good** · 05-30-2005, 15:10

Oo. Looks like the constitution got

PWNED!

*ahem*

Don't you guys just love France?

At least the British and the French can agree on something. They have agreed that they won't agree, but that they cannot agree to disagree here.

It appears that two wrongs do make a right, but for the wrong reasons...

Landverrader!

But, seriously, methinks the Frenchies were a bit confused.

"Mais... non! C'était un referendum? Je croyais que c'était été des élections nationals!"
