For Platt & others interested:
Final figures for turnout and 'no'-percentage: 62,8% and 61,6%.
What this has to do with Quality and MoQ? Well, wasn't democracy supposed to
be a high-quality social pattern of value?
Great, isn't it, that such a clear majority of a population can poke its
nose at the excellent arguments of an overwhelming majority of Dutch
politicians in favour of a treaty that summarizes and makes workable
previous treaties, but that is mistakenly named 'constitution'?! (-:
Where a constitution would have to be framed as "We, the people...", this
'constitution' was essentially framed as "We, the politicians, know best.
Support our project." That's apparently not what the Dutch feel democracy
should be...
By the way, I voted 'yes'.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
