The French Vote: The Bloggers Abuzz

Lots of good stuff:

Edward at A Fistful of Euros notes that Beijing has seized on the moment to harp about Euro-protectionism.

A Few Euros More reports that the Nordic countries are soldiering ahead.

Brad Setser wonders how this will affect Turkey's application to join the EU, and opines that the EU constitution woes will likely strengthen the dollar and be bad for the US.

Independent Political Blog follows up on the Turkey thought with a passage from a George Will column that includes this:

Here is one analysis of why the French may reject the EU constitution today. This constitution seems to be a synthetic construction by politically correct elites detached from real people and real life. In part, many French are afraid of losing their welfare system. But I'll bet the real, though perhaps unspoken, fear is of being swamped by Muslim immigration from Turkey.

Jane Galt believes the EU can live without the constitution, but non-growing pains in the eurozone are a really big deal.

The Prudent Investor agrees with Brad and Jane: "There is risk of a further weakening [of the euro] as Europe now faces not only economic but mounting political problems as well."

Daniel Drezner provides several interesting links, including the top four reasons the French said no, from the BBC. They are:

Dissatisfaction with the current French government

Worries (mostly misplaced) that the constitution moves the EU in an "Anglo-Saxon" direction economically

General concerns at the development of the EU, especially a perceived reduction of France's influence in the enlarged Union

Concerns at possible future membership of Turkey in the EU.

David K. Smith declares: "That should mean, after all the niceties, that the constitution, and the prospect of a UK referendum, are dead." EU Referendum is not sure, however. And The Diplomatic Times Review provides a link to a Deutsche Welle opinion column indicating that the Germans are undeterred.

About EU takes notice of a Reuters report that Ireland intends to forge ahead with its own vote on the constitution.

If this isn't enough, Instapundit has a load of links. And if that ain't enough, try Steeph.
