Dumb ass cunt. Have you even read the treaty? Most likely you have not, just like the majority of Yes campaigners. You clearly don't understand what the EU are trying to do. It's not about 'making things run more efficiently'. It's about power and control, a step towards a federal superstate and evntually a One World Government. Ireland was not the only EU country reluctant to sign this proposal. France and Holland voted NO but they were not listened to.
One no vote should be enough. The fact they have had the cheek to call a second one just shows the contempt they have for democracy and for the Irish people. There should be an even bigger no vote this time - that would settle the matter for good.
Even if ireland are fooled into voting 2yes" for the wrong reasons, we only need the Polish and Czechs to hold out till the UK elections. The UK people will not be fooled by their lies and deceit! Come June this treaty will be dead!
Why won't you let the Oireachtas represent the people, then? Why do you have to undermine the Oireachtas with a referendum, when they have already said yes to the treaty?
These are the people who have actually read the treaty in whole. How many of the Irish people have read it?
The answer lies in your question. Let the Oireachtas represent the people????? The people voted No.
I assume very few Irish peope have read the treaty and obviously not many members of the Oireachtas. Brian Cowen himself admitted he didnt read it last time around LOL
It's not true that the Irish vote hadn't been respected. That's complete bullshit by the press and some politicians. After the first Irish referendum, the EU modified the Lisbon Treaty to adapt it more to the Irish interests. You didn't vote for the same Lisbon treaty now than some months ago.
And tell me: How serious can be a campaign which propagates: "If you don't know vote NO"?
@odltirigu I know that it is a bit late for this reply but your statement is simply false - Just to state an example for the modifications of the Treaty after the Irish "No": Previously, it was planned not to have a Commissioner by member state (which would be equal to 27) but only 18 which was one of the reasons why the Irish voted no: They feared to be eventually excluded of the EU executive. Before the second Irish vote, the Treaty was modified in this case. And it's only one example.
Ya I am sure the Scots and English say similar things about Wales & the fact that they have to support your failed country. What does it contribute to the exchequer? Im guessing very little except some sheep and polluting coal.
Just like so many other countries would have done had it been in them a matter of public discern and not a decision imposed by politicians sucking up to big brother.
The Lisbon Treaty would, if ratified, be a self-amending Treaty which would permit the EU Prime Ministers and Presidents to shift most remaining EU policy areas where unanimity is required and a national veto still exists - for example on tax harmonisation - to qualified majority voting on the EU Council of Ministers, without need of further EU Treaties or referendums(Art.48 TEU).
"Britain must take more war refugees as BRUSSELS wants us to open the doors to thousands...
Britain will be asked to accept thousands more refugees a year as part of moves by Brussels towards a single immigration and asylum policy across the EU.
Many will come from war zones such as Somalia and Sudan under plans for a 'Joint EU Resettlement Programme'. .....
Britain will be offered 4,000 euros (£3,500) for every refugee it accepts.
Just kick Ireland's dumb ass out of the EU if they're going to be idiots and stand in the way Europe's future progress.....what assholes.

Why doesn't Ireland simply resign from the EU? If they don't like it, they don't need to be part of it.
Just one question: which country was mostly benefiting in the past years from the EU?

Peace?
"Under the Treaty of Lisbon, Member States should assist if a member state is subject to a terrorist attack."
If this happened then a world war would be inevitable as more and more countries enter into a war.
Where in the treaty does it mention economic recovery etc? - Nowhere, this is where the yes side is telling lies to get people on board.

All the Irish got were clarifications. We voted on the SAME treaty. Not ONE word was changed in the treaty. Case closed, the sheep voted.

Today's Open Europe mentioned that the Swedish EU presidency plan an EU-WIDE BAN ON ALCHOHOL being sold in shops !
What's next,anything is possible..a ban on bacon,a ban on cycling without a helmet,a ban on smoking outdoors,a ban on blogging ?
Also mentioned was the un.elected commission's fear that they will lose credibility if talks with Turkey don't continue "unhindered".

So let's recap, Ireland votes no.
The EU says "That's not good enough, do it again." And so they are forced to vote yet again, but what happens if they say no again?
I doubt the Eurocracts pushing for more centralized power in the EU are going to be satisfied with that.
