Personally i think the EU shoud be an economic and not a political union. Additions such as the President and Foreign minister are not needed for this, an I beleive that the EU has been guided by people out of touch with the real desires of a significant part of the EU population. The problem with the constitution is that Europe has tried to move forwards without the EU deciding clearly in which direction it wants to move.

I do however recognise that with recent additions a new set of rules is needed, but these need to be better thought out an more in touch with the people. Perhaps Mad=Dog is right, in that the EU has changed so much from its begining that the book has to be torn up and written again, which may in fact produce a more workable Constitution.

The question now i what do we do? We have had a French no, with Likely Dutch and British nosto follow. Are we to modify the exosting document, or start it agian fromm scratch?
