The only effect voting yes is accepting the current undemocratic rules. Do you know the difference in the codecision procedure between the constitution and the current treaties? It's almost nothing. Only a few small changes, but the basics is the same. The European Parliament still has a lot less power than either the council or the commission. This is unacceptable for me, that's why I vote NO.
By the way, if we accept this constitution, it will even be more years before we ever get a new one. And until that time, the EU stays undemocratic.
