  • a reference to that FT poll that found wide public opposition to Bliar's Presidency
  • I would emphasize Bliar's negative role in negotiations about further integration, including the drafting of the Constitution

Agree completely on first point, not so sure about the second point. There's a plausible argument that Tony did that for reasons of domestic politics, plus the Constitution was ultimately rejected not by Tony, but by the French and Dutch referenda. I don't think the charge sticks.

Unrelated: we should mention that the illegal war was in Iraq. You have to be explicit, with people.

I'll try my hand at a Dutch translation from someone's English version (or a corrected one) tomorrow evening.
