Big brother contestants to read EU Constitution
November 29: The Spanish government is backing the idea that contestants on the Spanish version of Big Brother have five days to memorise the contents of the EU Constitution, and then explain its intricacies. The government says it only has a tiny budget for publicising the contents of the Constitution before the referendum in February. The experiment should be an attempt to popularise politics, and help Spaniards get to grips with the Constitution.
