From the mass disbelief over the prospect of a French vote against the European constitution, a document that many claim would strengthen the French position within the European Union, comes this explanation from the Guardian newspaper:
- They feel that when the president, the government and the mainstream opposition combine to trumpet the merits of something and to implicitly denounce its opponents as half-wits who have understood nothing, it is their moral duty to revolt-
They feel ditto, but even more strongly, when virtually every newspaper, TV and radio commentator more or less explicitly backs the constitution and expresses amazement at the very possibility of a no vote-
They are worried about the expanded (and expanding) union and about its impact on their lives, particularly the arrival in France en masse of the key bogeyman of this debate, the Polish plumber (don’t even mention the Turkish taxi-driver)
