Well, it's interesting that the Caribbean districts (is that what they're called? I've forgotten) voted yes. I wonder why.

I wanted to post on this yesterday, but I still think the vote totals are now closer to that magical 60-40% point of Basta! It was a tellingly predictable vote. Too many reasons to count on why this was.

This morning's De Telegraff polling data for the Constitutional referendum in Holland is 61% "neen", 29% "vóór" and 12% "nog niet".

Yeah, what's up with Guadeloupe and Guyana voting "oui"?

(a) the DOM-TOM (departments and territories over seas) provided the margin in the 1992 Treaty vote, and the incumbent parties (UDF and UMP) poured lots of walking around money, er, Euro dollars, into them to get the same bounce this time around.
(b) I only see Reumion voting "oui", but
(c) I don't care, the margin inside the Hexagon was overwhelming on a staggering turnout.

Nice post over at your place (haiku). You gloss over the François Hollande vs Laurent Fabius contest within the PS, and miss the problem of the Ecolo, Fr and Euro, identifying neoliberalism with electoral political ecology, by the same ratio, in reverse.

Me, whatever the PC is doing is presumptively correct at this level. When I lived in Belgium, the PC was the last political party that hadn't split along linguistic lines. Go figure. PC Belge and Royalists Belge on the same page.
