More ammunition for the "no" campaign:

A fresh row over the euro looks set to boost the eurosceptic climate in the Netherlands, where further polls have indicated a majority for a "no" in the upcoming referendum on the EU constitution.

The row erupted on 30 April, when the director of the Dutch National Bank revealed to Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool that at the time of the introduction of the euro, the Dutch Guilder had been undervalued by 5 to 10 percent.

And it's precisely the introduction of the Euro that has affected the average Dutch citizen where it hurts them most: their wallet.

UPDATE: Chrenkoff has looked at the potential that the French will reject the EU Constitution and concludes that indeed a French "no" is based on some faulty logic: the EU is too right-wing. The same phenomenon manifested itself in Holland where the loony-left all of a sudden found itself on the same page as the conservative free-marketeers when it came to campaigning for a "no" vote.

Whatever the rationale, voting down the draft constitution reveals once more why one uniform European federation will never be able to effectively accomodate the various regional sentiments.
