Considering (none / 1)

that I am in a pretty small minority amongst the active ETers with respect to the EU Constitution (me in favor against the majority against), I never take assent for granted on that topic.

Re: Considering (none / 1)

I didn't read this as being about the Constitution.

Jerome is obsessed.

Could be. Personally I'm sleep deprived, which I'm going to remedy now by taking a nap. Maybe I'll have something useful to say later.

Well, (none / 1)

you guys seemed to see the Constitution as an endorsement of the Europe Martin Wolf wants, which I did not.

Re: Well, (4.00 / 4)

The Constitution would have allowed Martin Wolf's friends to proceed at an accelerated pace. Gridlock is good for me, as long as these people are in charge. And I opposed the constitution on process mostly, and because the debate on it was stifled, and there was no real information about it. Maybe in France it was different, but the Spanish referendum was a joke.

Re: Well, (none / 0)

That is beside the point, there is nothing in your story about the Constitution.
