"The head of government of a major European country should not endanger such a central project as the EU constitution purely out of domestic political calculations."
That's Vice-President of the European Parliament, Ingo Friedrich, on Tony Blair's decision to hold a referendum on the proposed EU constitution in Britain. A rather frank admission of the unpopularity of the EU among the people it supposedly represents, isn't it? It's one thing to demand that the Iraqis have a government perceived as legitimate and democratic with a constitution they can all get behind, but Europe? If we actually ask the people, then they might say "No"! How could we allow that to happen?
