Europe's 'Meech Lake Accord'?

The European Parliament has overwhelmingly approved the European Union's new constitution. Now it must be accepted by all 25 member states. The Lithuanian and Hungarian parliaments have done so thus far. But referendums will be held in France, the Netherlands, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Poland and the United Kingdom, where its fate is far from certain. If Canadian precedents are any indication, there is a good possibility that the proposed document will find its way into the dustbin of history.
