Germany - Yes. France - High Voter Turnout. Dutch - Out to Lunch Yet.

As reported at CNN, CNN.com - High turnout in French vote - May 29, 2005, there is a very high French vote turnout in France's referendum vote on the EU Constitution, which can surely only be attributable to more "yes" voters going to the polls to try to counter the "no" voter camp which was substantially leading the polls.

Just two days ago, Germany became the ninth country to approve the EU Constitution, following "Austria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain in approving the text. The Dutch vote Wednesday."

The opinion polls showed the French negating the EU Constitution by as much as 56-44 and the Dutch rejecting it by 60-40.

It is really amazing that two countries who profit most from Europe are against the EU Constitution in the polls. The French profit greatly through agrarian subsidies and the Dutch through economic trade, which is their lifeblood.

We imagine that "no" votes by France and/or the Dutch to the EU Constitution will lead to these economies suffering greatly in Europe over the long run. France and the Dutch want their cake and eat it to, and this will simply never work. We think that "no" votes by France and/or the Netherlands will ultimately lead to these economies paying a much greater price to be able to trade with the EU in the future than they are paying now, which is only right. Either you join the club and enjoy its benefits, or you are out. The choice is simple.
