Vote No and Leave the EU...Chirac says.

Taken from the Sunday Telegraph, Christopher Booker’s ‘Notebook’, today, Sunday 29th May: “Any country voting “no” to the constitution, according to President Chirac, must leave the EU. He may not wish to be reminded of it today, but this was what he told journalists in Paris on April 28, 2004, just after Tony Blair announced that he was to hold a British referendum. Chirac, already under pressure to follow suit, was angry with Mr Blair and said, as the Financial Times reported two days later, it was a matter of “ratify or quit”.”
