| #4 A quick vote in parliament before losing the upcoming national elections? sounds like Schroeder is bent on maximal damage before retirement. Any German polls on the topic? Ah, yes... looks like a majority would approve if asked to vote. "The latest survey carried out by the Infratest pollsters shows 59 percent of Germans back the new constitution. Only about 15 percent would vote against it if a referendum were held in Germany..." |

| #1 "Germany's upper house of parliament approved the treaty Friday, meaning that nine countries _ comprising 220 million citizens, or nearly half the EU population _ have now approved it." "The voice of nearly 50 percent of the European Union cannot be ignored," said EU Vice President Margot Wallstrom, pledging the ratification process must go ahead even if France says no." My thats odd...I just asked my wife and sister-in-law (Germans) if they get to vote for or against the EU constitution last night over some BBQ and they said they don't get to vote. Now THAT'S Democracy in action!!!! At least Germany is 2 for 2. They didn't get to vote on changing to the Euro either. |
