So you want some voting advice on the European constitution

Good news! There's two websites that offer advice on how to vote, and chances are that at least one of them will tell you what you want to here.

On one of them, indirectly sponsored by the Dutch government, misleading statements manipulate visitors into an advice which is almost always positive towards the constitution. So if you are mindlessly pro-European, which you would have to be if you're willing to support this monstrosity of a constitution, go to Stemwijzer.nl and have your opinion reinforced.

If on the other hand, you are not in favour of the European Union, you can go to this site, which was built by the radical anti-globalist collective EuroDusnie. Here, misleading statements manipulate visitors into an advice which is almost always negative towards the constitution.

In my case, I actually got a 'vote no' advice on the pro-European website, and the other way around, which indicates how much of a smartass I am. It's a good thing at least my cat loves me.

Incidentally, EuroDusnie is also subsidized by the Dutch government, which goes to show the grants department has gone completely bonkers. These are the same guys that regularly threw cakes into the faces of dignitaries.

(Now I agree that some of those dignitaries actually looked a lot better after the procedure, but I don't think it's the business of the government to subsidize cosmetic improvements.)
