A yes of course is what the Europhiles are hopping for, they can then claim that the treaty is still alive, the only problem is France and Holland have still to clarify what their intention is until they do everything else is just fluff.

Luxembourg yes could revive EU constitution

Luxembourg`s prime minister, Jean Claude Junker is hopeful that a yes vote in Luxembourg could revive the EU constitutional treaty.

“If this country will say no then according to my colleagues in the European Commission this would clearly mean the treaty would be dead. But if Luxembourg says yes then it could be the signal that the process is still alive”, said Juncker.

The referendum in Luxembourg will be the first since EU leaders announced a period of reflection for the future of EU direction after last month`s controversial summit.

Luxembourg decided to go ahead with a referendum despite the fact that EU member states earlier this month put ratification on hold in response to the French and Dutch rejections of the constitution.

Juncker has previously said he would resign if the document was rejected by his co-citizens. Luxembourg will hold its referendum next Sunday.
Opinion polls are still suggesting that a yes vote is still more popular.
