UK rejection may recover democracy-Financial Times
By David Barnby

From Mr David Barnby.
Sir, France has spoken.
The British people must now be given their chance to vote on a treaty.
Should it result in rejection of the treaty for a constitution for Europe, then this should trigger moves to recover democracy and reduce centralisation. This was the intention of the Laeken Declaration in 2001 on Europe's future that was hijacked by French President Jacques Chirac and Valery Giscard d'Estaing, former French president, to produce a constitution that does the opposite.
