EN - You have to eat it all erc2.org

"You have to eat it ALL!" is the second video clip created by the European Referendum Campaign (ERC) to "celebrate" the signing of the Lisbon Treaty and to launch the ERC video competition (see erc2.org).

"You have to eat it ALL!" provides a descriptive and provocative metaphor for the "force feeding" of citizens in Europe by their governments. The patronising behaviour of European elites is hard to swallow for many citizens across the EU. If the Lisbon Treaty is ratified without citizen participation, this will be a turning point for democracy in Europe. We want to make the case for referendums on the Lisbon treaty in each single EU member state, and we hope that we will be able to reach many people through these videos.

I really have to register up and vote no any sain person would if they looked into this. If ireland votes yes we will be hated all over the EU. Last i herd it was 38% are going to vote no 30% yes and the rest are floating voters . dip shits how all the yes votes are fucking castrated.

I'm a french voter, and as most of the frenc I voted NO. Since I feel a little pain in the ass each time I sit down, I don't know why.

So, if you're an irish voter and don't know how to vote at the referendum, remember this : vote NO. It will change nothing because they will force you to vote "right", but you'll have your conscience for you.

What benefits exactly?

The eu has done NO good whatsoever for the UK.

It has benefited europe though, with your access to our markets.

The UK does about 6% of our total worldwide business with europe.

europe needs OUR markets for their cars, wine, cheese etc, don't forget the oil either, europe wants the North sea oil and any other mineral rights the UK has around the world.

We are voting on the Lisbon Treaty and not on past benefits of EU membership. A lot of people seem to forget that!

Ultra vires treaties

Consent will also be invalidated if it was induced by the fraudulent conduct of another party, or by the direct or indirect "corruption" of its representative by another party to the treaty. Coercion of either a representative, or the state itself through the threat or use of force, if used to obtain the consent of that state to a treaty, will invalidate that consent.

No government representative can sign authority over to a foreign power!

It is Criminal Treason. Fact!
