Dutch courage

From Dutch PBS, who have screwed up their website with loads of Flash so I can't hyperlink to the article:

'If the French vote "no" on Sunday, over 60 percent of the Dutch will vote "no" in the plebiscite on Wednesday.

On the other hand, if the French vote "yes", that number will drop.'

I love living in a country full of independently minded people.

Prime minister gives one more reason to say 'no'

According to Jan Peter Balkenende, he'll 'look like a fool' if the Dutch say 'no' to the constitution.
Considering Balkenende is one of the most hated prime ministers we've had for decades, I'm not sure if this argument will convince anyone to say 'yes'.
(Anyway, I'm glad he chooses to use reasons which actually have some bearing on the contents of the constitution.)
