The European Union

The Economist On The Resukt

by Edward Hugh

The Economist is more or less positive about the outcome, of course it probably didn’t favour the constitution anyway:

French voters have rejected the proposed European Union constitution by a decisive margin. The flawed constitution is now probably dead, though the EU will get by without it. For President Jacques Chirac, however, it is a crushing defeat

Incidentally the Economist is now putting virtually all the Glbal Agenda section. I don’t know what this portends for their online influence.

    The Economist has been against the constitution since the document was first published. Its cover showed the constitution being thrown into a waste paper basket.

    The Daily Mail loved this image proclaiming that even the pro-EU Economist didn’t support the constitution.
