Currently the parliament has very few, if any decisional power. This will change with the constitution. The executive power will be shared between the council (non-elected) and the parliament (elected). Quite an important issue. For instance, in France the population massively voted left-wing at the two latest elections (including EP). But the french delegates at the council are right-wing ...

Therefore, vote yes. This is a question of democraty versus oligarchy. The constitution is maybe not perfect, but it is a first step. A no will be a clear back-up of the oligarchs.
