We Californians think we have too much election material when we have to plow through our voting information booklets with all the propositions and candidates for this that and the other (and we do). However, the poor old French voters have each been sent a 191-page document on the EU constitution ahead of their upcoming referendum. It contains some 448 clauses, protocols and annexes. Apparently quite a large percentage of the population have read parts of it and something like 10% have read the whole darn thing.
They take their democracy seriously over there.
