Exit polls suggest France rejects the EU constitution

Exit polls are suggesting France has rejected the EU constitution. I have to say that if this is true I applaud their decision of rejecting something that certainly wasn't the tidying up exercise our Government would have led us to believe.

But where does this leave the UK? Will their be a constitution to vote on? Could the no vote actually play into the hands of new Labour by meaning they won't have to hold a referendum that they were always likely to use? Only time will tell, but perhaps a No vote is just what Blair wanted.
