Thoughtful, The Guardian?

In a Guardian Comment, I came across this sentence, concerning European Economies being able to transform themselves to cope with globalisation:

If the constitution can facilitate this process of transition then it is worth supporting. If it is seen as a weapon to block transition, it is worthless and may even hasten the break-up of the EU.

Which is a good question that although we may disagree on the answer, should be asked by every Europhile. Whilst on the result:

In that sense, it is not so important whether France or the Netherlands votes yes or no on the constitution next week as whether they trigger an effort to create a protectionist European core group.

Which is an issue that we Eurosceptics should worry about. The last thing we need are a bunch of protectionist neighbours and judging by the campaign in France, this outcome is a possibility.
