Spain is holding a referendum on the amazingly bloated European Constitution today, and Barcepundit is blogging it.
TODAY IS REFERENDUM DAY in Spain; the so-called European Constitution (which is an unappropriate denomination, since it actually is an international treaty) gets voted today. The biggest fear by Zapatero’s government is in case the voter turnout is really low, since the whole thing would be a real slap in the face of the Prime Minister utopian pro-European stance. A “yes” vote is virtually asssured, after the propaganda campaign (and I mean, propaganda) and since the main party in opposition, the right-of-center Popular Party is also for a yes vote. I guess they won’t cry much much if the turnout is low, though.

Charles Moore has a good article on the EU Constitution: Why the EU Constitution is bad for Britain and bad for the US. (Hat tip: pookleblinky.)
