Re: But it's not clear what the trick was?! According to what you said, both a Yes vote and a No vote would be bad. Indeed, both a Yes vote and a No vote BY THE FRENCH POLITICAL CLASS would be bad. Hence Chirac's trick to shift the hot potato --and the ensuing blame-- to the people... A "NO" to the EU Constitution by the French politicians (ie deputies and senators) would have been much more damaging and detrimental to France's future role in Europe. Besides, the EU Constitution was drafted by a former French President, V. Giscard d'Estaing... Conversely, a popular "NO" allows the French political elite to cloak themselves in the pro-European mantle while explaining away the "NO" with popular discontent, irrational fears, unemployment, and so on.
