We may as well having our proper referendum here. Just to know what do we think about this stuff, and seeing if Europe is as united as it seems.
The discussion revolves around the European referendum and the proposed constitution, exploring themes of European unity, national interests, and the implications of the constitution for various countries and regions within Europe. Participants express their opinions on the potential benefits and drawbacks of the constitution, as well as their national identities and political sentiments.
Participants exhibit a range of opinions, with no clear consensus on the constitution or the implications of a united Europe. Disagreements persist regarding national interests versus European unity, and the discussion remains unresolved.
Some participants express uncertainty about the constitution's content and its implications for various nations, indicating a reliance on external sources for information. The discussion reflects diverse national perspectives and varying levels of engagement with the EU's political landscape.
Individuals interested in European politics, national identity, and the implications of the EU constitution may find this discussion relevant.
Could you provide a link so us non-Europeans can get some idea of what the content of this constitution is?

There a huge campaign going on all over Europe (especially in France, Spain and Germany) trying to educate the people about the proposed constitution, but a large majority of those polled (in the EU) yesterday (I think) still had no idea.
I believe most of Spain, however, is for the Unified Constitution.
Quite right.Clausius2 said:You, norwegians, always live on your own, you seem a bit selfish, don't you?. You wish you never get into a war with some another country, because then, where do will be Europe?Whatever will be, will be...
Surprisingly, every European country tries to copy the way of life of countries like Norway or Sweden, our governments think you are more advanced in social stuffs. But they don't understand that an spanish /italian / french/ has roughly nothing in common with a norwegian. The day we, spaniards, will give up to look to you maybe we will advance a bit. But copying your "advanced" social measures so rapidly, will not benefit us at all.
arildno said:Quite right.
And, to set the record straight:
I'm not too sure whether Norway is such a paradise upon Earth after all..
arildno said:Come here in late November, Clausius; Norway is rather unparadiasical at that time..
