Ireland rejects EU reform treaty

Ireland rejects EU reform treaty.

Voters in Ireland have rejected the European Union's Lisbon reform treaty in a referendum by 53.4% to 46.6%.

The vote is a major blow to leaders in the 27-nation EU, which requires all its members to ratify the treaty. Only Ireland has held a public vote.

Your welcome, can we have the north back soon?

[celtishlegend]

Let's say "NO" to the EU Fascism !!

The British don't have one document called "The British Constitution" Parliament is supreme and is not obliged to consult the people on any law. Hence there is no requirement in the UK to hold a referendum on Lisbon. Irelands Consitution called: Bunreacht na hEireann requires a referendum on any treaty relating to national sovereignty. That is why a referendum on the Lisbon treaty was a legal requirment.

The British Constitution is what ensures our civil liberties. It is the foundation of our democratic society.

It is law.

On the 1st January 2009, the final EU treaty went through.

This treaty, unbeknown to the majority of the general public,

abolished the British Constitution.

The UK is now under the authority of the EU Constitution, meaning that 100% of all government power is held by those same unelected bureaucrats in Brussels.

F@CK THE EUSSR

Lisbon Treaty 2 anyone ?

« The EU can lawfully suppress political criticism of its institutions and of leading public figures « (European Court of Justice ruling 2001).

The European Charter of Fundamental Rights (art.2,passage 2) states that LETHAL force (live ammo) can be used during « rioting,civil upheaval & during war ».

The same Charter of RIGHTS does not mention ANYWHERE the right of EU citizens to vote.

Perhaps they forgot.

Remind them in the European elections in June 2009.

What!!

Hey we are in a recession, why the hell would we want the burden of trying to support the North, No way the Republic could do that....

Britain can keep spending millions of pounds a year to sustain the North as part of the U.K thank you....

Sure I've been up North loads of times, the troubles are pretty much long gone and it's basically the same as the South except you have to change currency... Big whoop...

Frankly, we would be screwed as an economy if we got back the North...
