How The luxembourgish voted and "not voted" for the EU constitution.

I think there is probably much informartion included in your articles and comments, but not having the time or inclination to decipher riddles, I rarely look at them and almost never 'get' them. I think you should consider making them more comprehensible in general as I suspect many people are in the same situation as I am.

There is also the fact that if you do have something to say, many people will assume that you don't if you write in such an obtuse way. You will be assumed to be a fairly common species of internet troll:

"The Affected Profundity Troll. A mutant subspecies of Sophist Trolls, Affected Profundity Trolls post endless pages of pretentious drivel that is intended to appear wise, but which generally makes little sense (if any). Affected Profundity Trolls enjoy asking themselves questions, sometimes answering them and sometimes leaving them hanging, for they believe this looks intelligent and lends an aura of mystery to their incoherent ramblings. Affected Profundity Trolls aspire to become Sophist Trolls, but lack the intelligence necessary to make the leap."

Luxembourg referendum results (100% counted)

56.52% Yes

43.48% No

( http://referendum.rtl.lu/fr/index.html )

All but a handful of communes in the south voted Yes. These communes are among the most densely populated, so its a bit one-sided geographically. The result confirms the French experience, as these communes are traditional industrial areas and normally left-wing strongholds. The richest commune, Luxembourg-Ville, voted yes with 61% of the vote.

I'll leave the rest to Iosaf!

"The Vacous comment" (((do skip if you're busy)))

Well, President Junky of the devoutly kathulrick nation of Luxembourg (the luxembourgish head of state is the only head of state apart from the spanish who is allowed wear a white mantilla instead of a black mantilla when meeting the pope, if of course the head of state is a woman, and married to a king or archduke) is not to see his political obituary written today, & instead thanks to an eleventh hour round up of abstentionists by a joint luxembourgish police and army operation, has seen the constitution passed with a slender majority of votes at 56.52% JO! to 43.48% NEE! a result which is as reliable as the spanish, but means that the majority of the EU 25 member states have now ratified the constitution.

thats that then.

You might not have noticed the majority of Europe's more than 450million people ratify the constitution, but they did.

thats that then.
and all legal too.

Luxembourgers will now turn their attention to the care of blue flag beaches, ensuring that the general public don't start thinking about obscure indian hindu fundamentalist terrorist groups, or the complex issues effecting the north african muslim world, or subsaharan african world or any other places likely to produce imitative terrorism and of course numerology.

keep it simple.
keep it YES to Europe
keep it "blame al Qeada!"
Richard Mugabe is yet to comment.
Well done Mr junky! olé! love the radio station.

For such a prosperous, traditionally ultra-pro EU state as Luxembourg this is a very high NO vote and augurs badly for any chance of a revival that would swing Britain, Denmark or even Ireland back to the Yes side,
