The Lisbon Treaty's Legally Binding Guarantees

[zavi13]

It's just brilliant that you gobshites lost the lisbon vote, all I can say is YES! YES! YES!

[christianpatriot125]

Why is it brilliant? What benefit do you gain? What benefit to the Irish people is there in the treaty's text?

Do you have evidence to support your use of a vulgar insult to describe treaty opponents, or is it a case of resorting to insults because of an inability to find a rational criticism?

If I called you a nodding dog, would I be wrong?

What would you not have been willing to surrender?

[1957Rotu]

Don't you just love it when people with no legal knowledge whatsoever start engaging in the legal interpretations of European Union law?

[christianpatriot125]

To whom are you referring, and what do you know about their legal education?

[1957Rotu]

The quality of your analysis is so jejeune, I would be very surprised if you were a qualified lawyer. But I am, of course, willing to stand corrected on this in the interests of fairness.

[christianpatriot125]

Thank you for accepting that you were incorrect in your analysis of me.

Now what aspect of my analysis of the 'guarantees' do you believe is incorrect, and in what way?

Juvenile insults do not enlighten the viewers.

[1957Rotu]

First, your assertion that the successors of Heads of State do not honour legally binding guarantees entered into by their predecessors flies in the face of existing international law and practice. Secondly, as explained by Gavin Barrett, in his analysis of the guarantees, they will ultimately be transformed into protocols to one of the future Accession Treaties. As Barrett also explains, the European Court of Justice has never, in 50 years, overridden a protocol to a Treaty in its caselaw.

Same treaty just different wording. So i'm voting no again

[Marino39]

WTO secures your guarantees. You can look it up.

[christianpatriot125]

Since you've already looked it up, why not share your information so that we might check out your argument?

[Marino39]

Sorry it's UN not WTO. It can be found on one of your sites about Lisbon Treaty. I believe it's founded by your government . Unfortunately Youtube won't let me to post link -.- i will try via private message.

[damosapian]

dead rite, vote no

[Alan0874]

Yes indeed, we will find out! Thanks for the video - interesting angle as per usual.

[sirhcelah]

I BELIEVE THE FUCKING FAIL PARTY HA HA

[fredbrady]

again u make a great point. the guarantees are not legally binding and cannot be unless ratified by the member states. legal = legistature! its that simple. if its not ratified its not law. period.
