If you don't know much about politics & the constitution, how do you know what's wrong? Anyway, do you really think, matters would get worse with the new constitution? & what do you base this opinion on?
some things should change in the constitution for they dutch people.
Perhaps you missed the point: The constitution is not for the Netherlands but for Europe in general. As it seems there is still too much nationalism around.
Isn't it strange that those who celebrate the most now are those on the far left & far right? Should make you think...
Edit:
BTW, the NYT has an
editorial which (although I don't agree with all of it) has some good points:
" This is the context for the French "no" vote on the E.U. constitution. This is the psychology of stagnation that shaped voter perceptions. It wasn't mostly the constitution itself voters were rejecting. Polls reveal they were articulating a broader malaise. The highest "no" votes came from the most vulnerable, from workers and the industrial north. The "no" campaign united the fearful right, led by Jean-Marie Le Pen, with the fearful left, led by the Communists.
Influenced by anxiety about the future, every faction across the political spectrum found something to feel menaced by. For the Socialist left, it was the threat of economic liberalization. For parts of the right, it was the threat of Turkey. For populists, it was the condescension of the Brussels elite. For others, it was the prospect of a centralized European superstate. Many of these fears were mutually exclusive. The only commonality was fear itself, the desire to hang on to what they have in the face of change and tumult all around.
The core fact is that the European model is foundering under the fact that billions of people are willing to work harder than the Europeans are. Europeans clearly love their way of life, but don't know how to sustain it. "
