Does "Non" mean Non?

The French vote Non and immediately the European Union high-ups speak with relish of how the French have behaved stupidly, badly, in a misinformed way, or are a bunch of fascists! The epithets keep coming.

What an outfit the EU is. Our way or no way! That seems to be the message. Well, surely in a democracy the people's view must count. The real message here is that voters in most of the western side of the European Union are unsettled by the direction of the EU, whatever their conniving politicians think or do. History tells us that being oblivious to the wishes of the electorate on such major issues allows real extremism to fester and grow.

Can the EU Commission and Council of Ministers reflect on this? I hope so!
