BBC NEWS | The treaty is dead, long live the treaty

"'It is important to hear all voices, not just some voices, so all member states should make their decisions on this treaty' said John Palmer of the European Policy Centre. 'What has happened underlines the need for the Union not to develop farther than its democratic polity. It must give ownership back to the people. But we will need another treaty.'

'However,' he went on, 'the next one will have to be built upwards and not delivered downwards. For example, another constitutional convention should be directly elected.' "

In other words, don't try to shove a load of baloney onto the European electorate (again)!
