Some recent French polls now show a majority in favor of the Constitution. But even if the French do vote “No,” that will not solve the British problem: on the contrary, it will precipitate a major political crisis, in France and across Europe, concerning the future of the EU – the type of crisis that the British have spent fifty years trying to evade.
最近法国的一些民意测验表明大部分人支持宪法。但是即使法国投了否决票，那也不会解决英国的问题：相反，它还会加速一场在法国及全欧洲范围内的有关欧盟未来的严重政治危机——这正是英国五十年来试图避免的那一种危机。
