Around ten Member States are likely to hold referendums – perhaps more. Some of the national parliaments may encounter difficulties with ratification, especially in circumstances where there are weak coalition governments and ratification requires an enhanced parliamentary majority. Although the European Parliament has called for a consolidated and coordinated approach to ratification, in practice each of the ratification processes is likely to be a nation
