| I'll be voting against it when it comes up here. It's a step in the direction of a united states of Europe as far as I can see. |

| Well, I'm pretty much in favor, but unfortunately I don't live in a country that's a member of the EU so I can just lobby from the outside... |

that guy obviously has some strong opinions about it.
as a pro-nationalism, anti-NWO American i say, good luck and God bless
leave it to the French to be on the fence about this now, of all times. let them eat cake...and have it too |

Great. I really hope the French gives this one a "Oui". IMO the world has grown into a state where you need to be big to have any kind of influence, and a tighter EU would be a step in the right direction. I don't really fear a "United States of Europe" which, to me, seems to be a term that EU-sceptics use in order to make the European project appear to be a road towards becoming something like the US. Just because the EU would share the basic structure of states united into a supreme state, that doesn't mean that we will automatically take over all the things we don't like about the US. These are not bound to the US structure, but rather to the US culture and history, I think.

Since you don't even know the difference between the Euro and the EU, I suggest that you stfu before you get wound up in an argument you are incapable of winning. |

+1.
And its not like the constitution make any radical changes anyway. It makes it a lot clearer what the EU can decide about, and what it cannot. It also takes away VETOs in some areas, which really is a must if you want to have a working EU with 25 memberstates (and their new voting system is a very smart one imo (Qualified Majority Voting), both for the big countries and small countries). It also makes it easier to have a Common Foregin Policy (VETO is still in use here tho), so this will definetly make the EU a much stronger player in the world. It also give the European Parliament a lot more powers, which is a big step for direct democracy in the EU.
Here is a good link with some info about the constitution:

Or you could download it here (325 pages tho :p im considering reading tho :)):
