In yesterday's referendum, the French voted "Non" to the European Constitution. Let's find out why...
The Top Ten Reasons the French voted "Non" to the European Constitution:
10. They like the socialist status quo of the French economic system
9. They think a free market for Europe is a Bad Thing(tm)
8. They are afraid that outsourcing and offshore building will add to already growing unemployment problems.
7. They don't like the idea of an EU parliament making laws that would affect them (nevermind the fact that France, along with Germany and the U.K., will have more voting "power" in the parliament under the new Constitution)
6. They don't want Turkey to join the EU
5. They don't want the EU to expand any further
4. They are afraid of losing their identity
3. They are afraid of losing their "power" (see number 7)
2. They think a unified EU is a danger to Europe
And the number 1 reason the French voted "Non" to the European Constitution...
1. Chirac told them to vote "Oui"
