Luxembourgers Vote for the EU Constitution

As feared the citizens of the tiny Duchy voted in favour of the EU Constitution in today's referendum - the report from Reuters may be read from this link. The closeness of the result, itself surprising in view of the perks that slosh from Brussels to Luxembourg, will probably ensure this is the last referendum on the EU Constitution. The present EU will therefore now only be advancing in clear contravention of the clear wishes of the majority of the continent's ordinary citizens. If some choose to argue otherwise, they should be pressured to let other large countries now hold their own votes! Luxembourg, which today had a precious chance to advance the cause of democracy and punch way, way above its weight, has failed a crucial test.
