53. I don't agree
The increasing unpopularity goes for the whole political establishment of representative democracy, which seems to guarantee a leadership of corrupt and incompetent wankers no matter how people vote or don't. People want authentic democracy, but are still generally too apathetic to take action against the formidable foes they face.

Every nation should be given a chance to reject (or accept) the CT in a referendum. What is more undemocratic than the elite, in fear of being humiliated, don't give people chance to discuss the CT and make their own mind about it.

I certainly would like to cast my vote against this CT and for a better Constitution, drafted by Constitutional Counsil whose members are directly elected by people, e.g. 4 representatives per member state, and then voted upon in a singe European wide referendum, which asks two simple questions:

1. Do you accept the Constitution?
2. If constitution is accepted by the majority of European citizens, but rejected by your country, do you accept the will of majority and join new constitutional union, or do you wan't your country to leave it?
