Referenda on the new Constitutional Treaty

Both Euro-federalists and Euro-sceptics have called for a referendum in all EU member countries on the proposed constitution. See www.X09.eu.

A campaigning group, the European Referendum Campaign (ERC), is calling for a referendum on the Constitution to be held in all EU countries on the same date. For countries whose national constitution does not allow for binding referendums, the ERC calls for consultative referendums to be held there.

There have been held referendums in Spain and Luxembourg, where 76,7% og 56,52 % voted yes, and in France and Holland where 54,8% and 61,7% voted no. The referendums in Denmark, Ireland, United Kingdom, Polen, the Czech Republic and Portugal were exposed or cancelled.

Ireland then voted on the Lisbon Treaty 12 June 2008. 53,4 % voted No and 46,6 % voted Yes. The turnout was 53 % - higher than in the second referendum on the Nice Treaty in Ireland where 49 % took part in the referendum against 35 % in the fist Irish Nice referendum giving a majority for a No.
