Chirac has been unable to halt the advance of the no campaign ahead of the May 29 referendum on the European constitution - according to a poll by BVA, 58% reject the document - and many people are angry over unpopular reforms and the stalled economy.

Immigrants who first arrived from Europe almost 350 years ago, they are most conscious of the fact that, unlike the former colonialists of the Gold Coast or Mozambique, they have no place to go back to. Out of hand they reject all talk of one man, one vote, maintaining that it would be "one man, one vote, one time," and then black tyranny forever after...
