Recent polling suggests that the Euro Constitution may be heading toward defeat in upcoming elections.
Seems like the central govt. is too strong, and local populations want to keep their own national governments.
Very reminiscent in some essential ways of the Articles of Confederacy vs. the American Constitution.
Many Europeans fear losing their national identities and being subsumed in an American-like super state.
Maybe we Americans would have been better off, too, if our local states had more independence and ability to do things their own way, rather than being controlled by Washington.
Upcoming Supreme Court decision regarding medical prescriptions by doctors and ability of States to regulate substance will be of great interest--will the Feds exert total authority over this matter?
Very interesting to watch how the Europeans deal with this. It looks like things will be delayed quite a bit if there is a no vote, but the process of developing the EU will continue in some way.
