Increasingly, the decision to vote down the EU constitution is being attributed to political and social movements whose interests are directly antithetical to those of free-market advocates. As this article points out a strange coalition consisting of "the far right, communists, nationalists, dissident Socialists and anti-globalization groups" banded together to sink the EU constitution. It may have been necessary -- if utterly distasteful and revolting -- for free-market forces to ally themselves with such a motley collection of political Know-Nothings in order to achieve a desirable result.
