Constitution Matters
Resolving the democratic deficit in Europe is the most important issue facing the people of Europe whether by means of a better constitution or treaties. European Options will devote the rest of 2007 to this issue. This initiative is entirely pro-people and has no pro- or anti-European agenda. Content on this site will be on vertical scroll edit screens (VSES) or audio content (AC).
The forthcoming VSES are listed below. The coloured ones are already live.

Margin of error +/- 10%
CybaCity predict that the position will stabilise at:
Yes = 33%;
No = 39%;
Unsure = 28%;
Those in favour of supporting the Treaty are likely to claw back some votes from the status on day 5. However, the margin of error is such that the most likely scenario (95% probability) is a narrow win by those not in favour of the European Treaty being accepted or ratified.
The principal reasons for loss of support for the Treay include a lack of clarity of a poorly designed document, a growing awareness of the nature of Angela Merkel's manipulation as an attempt to deceive the people of Europe and avoid referendums in other countries, on balance the blame argument has faltered because the Irish would prefer to not impose something they do not clearly understand on the rest of Europe taking the line that it is better to force a rethink involving a more participatory process. In addition, there is a growing sense that a yes vote will herald a significant loss of freedom on the part of the European electorate through an inability to participate effectively in future decsions.
During the last 2 weeks the doubts about the impartiality of the European Court have been raised frequently as giving cause for concern over individual freedom under the law.
