THE "LAW" IS MOST IMPORTANT,AS THE REFERENDUM ONLY...
...can be STOPPED DEFINITELY, if at least 5 or 6 Nations are standing up against it. The concrete wording was that the Constitutional blueprint has to be ratified in 19 from 25 countries for stepping into LAW.
If not so - only then the "ratification"-procedure of the EU-Constitution may be chancelled.
By refusal of ONE NATION the process is only postponed and can't step into legal force. So you can "win time" for "convincing" further...
From the official EU-site:
On 29 October 2004, the Heads of State or Government of the 25 Member States and the 3 candidate countries signed the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe which was unanimously adopted by them on 18 June of the same year.
This Treaty can only enter into force when it has been adopted by each of the signatory countries in accordance with its own constitutional procedures: this is called the ratification of the Treaty by the Member States.
Depending on the countries' legal and historical traditions, the procedures laid down by the constitutions for this purpose are not identical: they comprise either or both of the following two types of mechanism:
* the "parliamentary" method: the text is adopted following a vote on a text ratifying an international Treaty by the State's parliamentary Chamber(s);
* the "referendum" method: a referendum is held, submitting the text of the Treaty directly to citizens, who vote for or against it.
There may be variants or combinations of these two methods, depending on the country, or other requirements, e.g. when the ratification of the Treaty entails a prior adjustment of the national Constitution because of the content of the text.
Once the Treaty has been ratified and the ratification has been officially notified by all the signatory States (lodging of the ratification instruments), the Treaty can enter into force and become effective, in principle, according to the Treaty, on 01 November 2006.
The "ratification", which was passed by ALL of the national parliaments or chambers until now (11 agreements), was only REFUSED by TWO NATIONS, who held citizen's referendas until now.
The last "postponing" of the public referendum by the Brits gains more time...
