Have all the 77million of people from those country's really gone thought the treaty??? I mean do they know the pros and cons???
In my opinion the EU was here to avoid major conflicts in Europe, and like it or not, it is working.
Comparing the Soviet CCCP to the EU i think its just laughable. After the 58 Hungary and Checz, it still survived somehow.... hahaha

Europe is where it is today because it brougt its people with it. They was convinced of the benifits and voted on entry to the Union.
Since the Maastricht Treaty they have moved away from the initial reason for the European Econmic Community (EEC) - the model that the population voted YES for.
Now they want Political Union, with econimic and forein policy run from Brussels, they want to remove the right of veto by member states.
There are some good points in the treaty particulary on trade and the removal of subsidies - but France is against them and will, as usual disobey the commision.
If the EU parliment can't win the debate and educate the population so that they see the benifits to what they intend to do - then that is their fault and you can't blame the people voting NO. Instead they will try and force it on everyone without allowing a vote.
True the EU is not the same as modern day Russia with its autocratic oligarchs - but it heading that way....
