Because it is a 'democratic' thing to do? Well, they say tactical reasons lay behind this - Chirac wanting to embarass the Left.

Seems so. Then he should follow his example and resign if he gets defeated in a referendum
It's obvious the situation is really worrying for EU supporters if it goes as far as people like Fischer or Schröder poking their noses in French business... when Schröder is not begging for SPD votes in Germany, he's begging for French ones... but as you say, we will see. I'm only thinking of possible future referendums, putting the 'blame' on France and the French that Europe can't 'progress'...
