I vote yes. It will give a major sense of unity, and will contribute to the making of Europe as a superpower, able to compete with the USA, Japan, Russia China and the rest of the "players"

I'm from a region (Catalonia) where nationalist parties are against the Constitution, because it's against Catalonia interests, but i don't care about that. I feel european above catalan

My vote: Although I think our country, Spain, has been diminished and pushed down in this Constitution by means of the French and German virtual superiority, in spite I think that Niza settlement was better for us, in spite our president Zapatero defends the positive vote, I'm going to vote yes because I want to be proud of being European, and because we spaniards are doing the ridiculous by means of a horrible external politics enhanced by a stupid president and maybe being under the European flag all that could be buried.

At least Belgium was aside France and Germany against USA about Iraq's War. Maybe now your prime minister will play the cards with Chirac or Schröeder, while Zapatero and Spain sweeps the floor of their bathrooms.

Yes, I forgot to say that is another reason for voting Yes, just because that mad people say NO.
And thanks for defining Catalonia as a "region", because lately some people like those you posted are prone to call everything as a "nation".

Belgium is all for Europe. Our prime minister (Verhofstad) was close to become president of the European comission but it turned out to be Barosso...

I'm Norwegian, so we're not part in EU anyways, we're only subject to their legislation with no influence upon it..
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?
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.

France is one of the true foundators of Europe. Despites their economics has not got a good health, their diplomatic power is outstanding.
"Once upon a time" when Aznar was in our government, France made the impossible to get rid of him, because they knew Spain was having an apparent increasing economic power. Now, Chirac has bought a new dog, one called Zapatero, and he is the best pet of his owner.

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.

We are the first to vote, and we'll do it on 20th February. Pay attention to this day, because if we reject the Constitution, it will be a nice disasterous day to remember, and surely the news about we have buried the Constitution will spread world wide.

I only can tell you about a friend of mine who went for holidays last summer there. The FIRST day he arrived with another five friends, someone stole their suitcases from the car. He lost all his clothes. Nice country,
Anyway, Norway will be always one of my desired paradises to travel to.

The only paradise in Europe (at least to my knowledge) is Toscana or Switzerland (well, that is not Europe, but what the heck...). Belgium is not to bad though (especially for health care
A place that i did not like was Bilbao...
