France rejects the EU

Well the French people have spoken and they have rejected the E.U. constitution. Good for them to finally assert their national soverignty. Interesting an odd coalition of Communists and right-wing parties joined in rejecting the constitution. Politics does make strange bed-fellows it seems.

Of course the long-term effects of this are yet to be seen. Many say this vote has thrown the E.U. into disarray, but Brussels seems to disagree. Well for now, some celebration is in order.
