Spain - EU Referendum

Fire of Liberty

The Spainish overwhelmingly approved the EU constitution by a vote 77% to 17%. While the numbers look outstanding, the reality of the situation is that only 42.3% of Spain's voters showed up to vote on the future of Spanish sovereignty. This just shows the complete apathy to a constitution they know nothing about. Hopefully, the "no" campaigns in France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland and Britain will receive a shot in the arm from the low turnout. Expect something from Poland and Britain, these are the two nations who have the greatest to lose in a Yes vote.

To understand the apathy of Spain's voters just check out Charles Moore's Op/Ed on the EU Constitution in The Daily Telegraph. Its a smasher.
