If any of the member states votes against the constitution, it doesn't mean there won't be a constitution, it just mean the current draft (and that is what is being voted on, a draft) will have to go back to be rewritten.

There is a very worrying paragraph which states that anything in the constitution now cannot me modified. This is very worrying for the socialistic lifestyle of the French who protect their workforce like no other. The constitution as it stands is very AngloSaxon and supports free exchange of labour force, which basically means certain trades, like the building trade in developed Euro countries will be flooded with cheap labour from the ex Soviet Bloc countries.

Basically, Europe is evolving and has been doing for some time. The comment about the fatal flaw being that European countries cannot agree on anything is bullshit. A NO vote now against the constitution will probably mean the final constitution will be even stronger. True, it won't help France's strong stance in Europe, but as it's the people that decide, then that can only be a good thing for the benefit of all involved.
