Telegraph | News | Blair faces clash over move to kill EU treaty

Specifically, Tony Blair is acknowledging the obvious: the EU constitution cannot succeed. If the French vote wasn't enough, the Dutch vote that comes up tomorrow will certainly stop the EU constitution from ratification. (Note: you'll have to register at telegraph.co.uk in order to see it, but fortunately that shouldn't cost you anything.) So why, Blair asks quite reasonably, bother to bring it up for a vote in his country?

But who said that leftists had to be reasonable?
