I'm listening to some BBC man in the street, or should I say dans l'rue interviews. The losers are assuming that there will be another vote, that this cannot stand. The interviewer is saying, "The people have spoken, aren't you going to listen to them?" and one of the answers is: "When you ask a woman to marry, perhaps she says 'no', you will ask again, non?"

Superficially I look at the importance of Europe realizing it is better off together, but with the incredible officialese of the multi hundred page constitutional document, I can see inherent resentment at having this foisted upon 'the people'. And the cooperation of the political extremes right and left to muster opposition shows this to be a pretty complicated situation.
