Tipping Point

Now that the French and Dutch have rejected the monstrosity that was the EU constitution, the Poles are now expressing their true feelings about it as well:

"The French and Dutch 'nos' encouraged people to openly say they were against the treaty but didn't dare to admit it until now," said Mikolaj Czesnik, a sociologist at the Polish Academy of Science.

Before voters in the two founder-member states of the EU rejected the constitution, followed closely by a British decision to put its referendum on the treaty on hold, it was "considered politically incorrect in Poland to reject the treaty," Czesnik said.

"Some people also feared that a Polish 'nie' would lead to accusations that Poland was reponsible for the demise of European integration. Those people felt relieved" by the negative votes, Czesnik said.

It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to ratify this thing now, at least in a popular referendum, with the possible exception of the Belgians.
