What will happen if the "no" wins?

ATTAC president Jacques Nikonoff observed that contrary to
the official alarmism, the European Union will go on
functioning according to most recent of its treaties, the
Treaty of Nice, until 2009. The juridical situation will be
unchanged. Politically, the French "non" will create a
salutary shock wave through Europe. It will stimulate a real
debate on basic economic issues that have been muffled for
twenty years by "TINA" -- there is no alternative. The worst
measures will be stalled, or at least not written into an
iron Constitution. The prospect will open to enact radical
transformation in the foundations of the EU -- upwards
social harmonization, the universal right to social
services, a progressive industrial policy, opposition to all
forms of neocolonialism, cancellation of Third World debt,
dissolution of NATO, etc.
