The strategy of the "colleagues"
The profoundly Eurosceptic EU Referendum blog links to the Daily Telegraph's editorial view today: too much effort has been invested in the European project for it to be scuppered by one referendum result.
The blog goes on to anticipate that "'the strategy of the "colleagues"' in Brussels will be to play a cautious and patient game, hoping that if enough effort is mustered, the referendum in Denmark can still be won - and the British referendum too.
By this time, there would be a new French president who in such a new climate could ask the French people for a second opinion.
While this imagined sequence of events is unlikely to come about in exact detail, EU Referendum is surely right to assume the federalists are a long way from giving up their dream.
UPDATE:
(Via Instapundit.) Michel Houellebecq's reaction to the French referendum result? "I am very surprised because normally French are cowards".
