Who Understands the EU Constitution?

So the French voted 'non' yesterday to the proposed European Union constitution.

You can't say there's not plenty of information about the constitution - take a look at Dutch Referendum Commission has detailed information on their website. Most Dutch media are pro-constitution, though, so the reporting has hardly been impartial. In spite of all that, statement on the Dutch government's news website last month: A government survey has found that 74% of voters consider it important that the EU have a constitution. It has also found that voters who receive information about the constitution are more likely to vote in favour of it. Heh! Do you think they might be on to something?
