NO: 63 percent!

A massacre. According to the first exit poll, 63 percent of the Dutch voted no, and therefore, only 37 percent voted yes. The turnout was very high at 62 percent. Never before have people turned out in such high numbers to vote in a European election. It's quite ironic that the first time they choose to do so is when they have a chance to voice their concerns.

Thanks to all of you who voted today.

Arjan,

As a fellow European - geographically speaking - An excellent result for us all.

Considering it is the first time some of us have had a direct say about anything at all in the way the EU has been formed and progressed since the '70s, perhaps it will make the faceless bureaucrats/politicos in Brussels realise that maybe,just maybe, this is not the way the people want things to be going.

Whether they take any notice or we will all eventually have to take to the streets I do not know.
