1) What country are you from?

UK.

2) Are you having a referendum on the proposed EU constitution? If you don't do you think you should?

Yes. Yes.

3) Have you read the constitution?

Partly.

4) I have read parts (because I don't trust the BBC or any other news outlet to portray it in an unbiased fashion). I plan on reading it fully. Would you find it useful for me to make post summaries and what I think the implications are of the various articles?

5) If there were a referendum tomorrow how would you vote (assume just a yes or no question – yes to accept, and no to reject)?

No.

6) Do you plan on voting in the European elections in the summer?

Yes.

For those that are having a referendum:

7) Do you think that your government will set a simple, unbiased question just about the EU constitution?

No. From what Blair said today I think he will morph and tie it in to something such as EU membership that will increase his chances of winning. Lets not forget the last referendum was phrased along the lines of "Do you want to maintain Free Trade with the EC?". I expect something similar. I'm sure they will try and bias it as much as they can. For example I can see each of the three main parties getting an equal share of cash and so in effect the Yes campaign will get twice as much money as the No campaign. Having said that Blair hasn't set the framework for the referendum either.
