The notion of being "favorable to *a* european constitution" and "accepting *this* particular constitution" are blurred by the press and ILRES. But it is a big difference to me! Anyways, the majority of the people having approved the constitution text in ILRES polls have never read the text and have not been able to answer simple questions about the constitution text in the same ILRES poll! I do not know if I will find the time to read the 400 page constitution text before the 10th July. But even if I do, I am sure that I will miss the hidden details and tricks that could later be exploited by smart politicians. I strongly doubt the colourful "summary" brochures sent to every citizen will help me doing a wise decision what to vote :-( Greetings, Patrick Kaell
