Across the EU, political classes- whatever their perspective on European integration- are discussing the implications of the French and Dutch thumbs down for the proposed constitution. Most ordinary mortals are aloof from this discussion. For them it means nothing. The whole debate about the EU can all too often sound arcane.
That is one reason why most people voted in the referenda on the basis of considerations that were extraneous to the proposed EU constitution. The constitution itself is an innocuous enough document, seeking to formalise and define decision making within the EU. This was a revolt against the ruling elites of Europe.
