The EU referendum

Reading French discussion of the EU referendum, and assuming that British discussion will be broadly similar - there's one thing that stands out more than anything else - people aren't voting based on an understanding of the changes from the current set of treaties to a constitution - they're voting on whether they like the EU or not.

Does anyone realise that voting 'No' won't leave us outside of the EU - it'll leave us in exactly the same situation we're already in.

The EU constitution itself is quite good - it's fairly sane, and well written.


And after observing the count in my constituency I can certainly say that voters are indeed idiots ^_^.
