Would a no to the Constitution be the end of the EU? Possibly not. But it would quite possibly mean the stalling of the European project for another 40 years or so. Rejection of a treaty by a major central country like France or Germany isn't the same as rejection by a tiny country like Ireland, which the EU doesn't actually *require* to be part of anything. A rejection by Ireland or Denmark or even UK affects those countries more than it affects the rest of Europe. Not so with France.

Secondly, the French have that pesky notion of democracy. I can't imagine any president daring to create the impression of voting until the result is right.
