I hear people in the "No" campaign say there is a flexibility clause and that the "enhanced co-operation" of the treaty is eurospeak when the reality is more complicated. They say the flexibility clause will be used by the big states to gang together and jack up corporate taxation, to screw us and to make us join them. They say that, although it is against our national interest, we are stupidly, perversely and suicidally going to agree with this contract. These people speak for the large states although they do not represent them and have not in many cases been elected to represent anyone in this State. When elected, President Chirac had a policy platform to try to reduce corporate tax in France, but perhaps the "No" campaign knows more about running France than he does. Silvio Berlusconi was elected in Italy on a tax reduction platform, but perhaps the "No" campaign knows more about Italian politics than the Prime Minister of Italy.
