EU to France: Keep voting until you get it right


Mark Steyn says that European Union "President" Jean-Claude Juncker is showing nothing but contempt for European voters who must ratify the proposed Constitution.

"If at the end of the ratification process, we do not manage to solve the problems, the countries that would have said No, would have to ask themselves the question again," "President" Juncker told the Belgian newspaper Le Soir.

Got that? You have the right to vote, but only if you give the answer your rulers want you to give. But don't worry, if you don't, we'll treat you like a particularly backward nursery school and keep asking the question until you get the answer right.

Meanwhile, James Taranto is hilariously critical of the New York Times gushing over the proposed Constitution: "a document similar in some ways to the Constitution that binds the United States." Taranto notes that it is "also dissimilar in some ways; for instance, it comprises 448 articles, 441 more than the U.S. Constitution."

France has screwed itself. Unless the EU sorts this out, countries like France and others that follow social economic policies will get crushed between the vice jaws of the US and China

They do the same thing with school levies, putting it back on special election ballots until it gets approved. We vote on school tax increases every two weeks. Eventually few enough voters turn out that it passes.
