The next EU drama will be the draft ‘constitution’ slated for discussion by the heads of government later this year. The approved text is then due to be submitted for approval by voters in Denmark, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and Holland (and perhaps France and Italy). But not the UK: Blair’s not asking his voters what they think. If the Danes are any indication, who can blame him? Only 18 percent of them are in favor of a ‘constitution’ that was, readers may remember, supposedly meant to make the EU more democratic.

Ha ha ha.
