The Netherlands should vote yes, according to Balkenende, to show that although it is a small country, it can act independently of the big European powers like France. Until yesterday, his message was that the Netherlands should vote yes so as not to isolate itself from the big European powers like France. And, as one of my colleagues--who plans to vote yes--pointed out this morning, saying that the Netherlands should vote yes because France voted no does not exactly show that the Dutch vote is "independent" of the French vote.
Trenchant analysis from an eclectic blog that I can't quite figure out, but that seems to be written by a Dutch anti-capitalist lefty, at Dear Kitty.
