BBC NEWS | Europe | France 'rejects EU constitution'

"There were cheers from supporters of the 'No' campaign when the exit polls results were announced just after voting ended at 2100 GMT.

Those who rejected the treaty included Communists, various left-wing groups, dissident socialists and far-right parties."


All right, it's true that the "Non" camp included the contestation camps. But the Non camp also included about 40% of the UMP, the current right-leaning government party. And about 50% of the Socialists were voting "Non". It's a travesty for the BBC to try to paint the "Non" camp as extremists or even "anti-Europe". I think that the majority of the "Non" camp is like me: we voted "Non" because the proposed European Constitution stinks and we want a good one: one that people can read, one that doesn't put market in front of ideals. We want "Liberty, Egality and Fraternity" and not "Commodity, Complicity and Regressivity".

So there, BBC, today you are the "Bubba-C".
