There is a fear put about by scaremongerers that the European project has become a federal project similar to that of the United States or the Länder system in Germany. I disagree. There will not be a federal Europe but one based on contributions from individual states which will hold on to their uniqueness. It will not be a system based on uniformity. If the "No" vote carries this time, we will send out negative signals. The message to our eastern European counterparts will be harmful and irreversible.
