EU Constitution - By the People, For the people??

Germans are going to get the EU constitution whether or not they want it. They aren't going to have a say in it either. The new constitution would be ratified by the German parliament, Schroeder said. Not should. Would. Unlike Chirac and Blair who have had to concede to referendums, Shroeder isn't giving Germans the opportunity to voice their opinions.

And you wonder why people emigrated to the U.S. by the millions. /sarcasm off
Come to think of it, the Russians didn't get to vote on theirs either.
