From today’s Financial Times:

The EU’s constitutional convention is “an unparalleled exercise in European democracy”.

From today’s Daily Telegraph:

“There was no vote. M Giscard, famed for his autocratic style during 16 months of stormy debates, simply discerned consensus among the MPs, MEPs, and national envoys. Few were willing to spoil the party by crying foul.”
