EU call to re-run treaty referendums
Via the Eurabian Times:EU call to re-run treaty referendums
France and the Netherlands should re-run their referendums to obtain the "right answer" if their voters reject Europe's constitutional treaty in imminent national ballots, Jean-Claude Juncker, the holder of the EU presidency, said on Wednesday. The Luxembourg prime minister said all 25 EU member countries should continue their attempts to ratify the treaty whatever the outcome of the French and Dutch votes. His comments reflect a mood of deepening pessimism among Europe's leaders about the outcome of the referendums. "The countries which have said No will have to ask themselves the question again. And if we don't manage to find the right answer, the treaty will not enter into force," he said in an interview with the Belgian Le Soir newspaper. The French and the Dutch governments have for the moment ruled out the prospect of a second referendum and hope they can win their votes on Sunday and Tuesday respectively. Jacques Chirac, France's president, will tonight launch a last-ditch televised appeal to voters to back the treaty, which lays out new rules for the expanded EU and deepens integration.

The EU establishment is increasingly turning to morally and ethically dispicable tacks, to advance their agenda. I believe the Netherlands PM advocates those who are undecided, not to vote at all. His reasoning is that if a sufficient number of the electorate do not vote, the referendum will be void, and the establishment will get another referundum by default.
Then there is the threat, that the EU will implement the constitution by the back door, regardless of the vote. In other words, "we dont care what you peasants think, as we know what is best".

Now there's democracy in action - EU style.
