    The upshot if the French vote ‘no’

    Nobody doubts that a French "no" would create a crisis for the EU, which spent years negotiating the constitution and needs the approval of all 25 member states for it to take effect.

    Why I say oui to a French no

    If the French vote “no”, many of them will probably be trying to protect their country from the incursions of Anglo-Saxon economic liberalism. And the chattering classes will doubtless conclude that the failure of the constitution is a tragic step back to the dark days of racism, nationalism and protectionism. But whatever the intention of some voters, the consequence of a “no” vote may well be to accelerate both economic and political liberalisation in France and across Europe.
    [...]
    A French “no” will force the people of Europe and the governing elites to face the fact that their living standards, cultures and influence in the world can be preserved only by improving economic performance, not by integrating, harmonising, enlarging or writing constitutions. Denied the illusions of “exceptionalism” and “ever-closer union”, Europe may have to think seriously about economic reform.
