The end of the European dream?

I found this article from the BBC quite shocking. Why? Because it is one of the first indications I have seen of European Rejectionism becoming a grass-roots and populist movement. It is one thing for the government and political national elite to defy the demands of supranationalism and sovereignty sacrifice, but quite another for the 'man in the street' to express his discontent with the European dream, and in such large numbers.

Ironically, the attempt to litigate a European constitution, which if successful would have had very little effect on the status quo of EU politics, has prompted this backlash which may sound the death of European construction.
