Jump To Comment: 1 2 3We can see the direction the yes camp and the EU are going. I believe if they try to force this treaty on us and demonise us make us out to be idiots, we should mobilise mass demonstrations in Dublin.
It is our democratic right to say NO . we the majority have said NO... Invite supporters from all over Europe to join us, those people who have been sidelined by their own goverments. I believe it what has to happen. When they see thousands of people on the streets they have to take notice... NOISY BUT PEACEFUL..... LETS DO IT
You've instigated a two-tier Europe in which Ireland will now rest in the "go slow" lane affecting our economy and our previously close relations with the European Project. The NO camp has no direction in which to go now except more of this isolationist drivel and left-wing rhetoric.
You wanna talk about democracy? The hard left were rejected by the electorate in the General Election and now it's just used Lisbon to further it's (now undemocratic) aims.
After all the lies and bullying of the campaign before the vote, we
now have to endure the lies about why we voted "No".
How can Brian Cowen and his colleagues explain to Brussels why the
Irish voted No, when at no stage did they listen to us?
Will he just try to blame it all on fringe elements worried about
abortion and gay marriage? That's neither honest nor credible.
I am not Anti-European, and most of Ireland is pro-European, but we're
not foolish enough to think everything drafted in Brussels is good.
This is especially true when we see the other 496 million Europeans
denied a referendum on this issue.
We have only the late Raymond Crotty to thank for the fact that we got to vote on this.
Otherwise our government would have voted on it long ago, against our wishes.
If the EU wants to re-organise it's institutions, that seems logical.
I could see the point of having a treaty about the number of commissioners and qualified majority voting.
There was NO good reason to include in the same treaty, sneaky conditions requiring us to upgrade our military equipment, amendments about privatisation, supporting the nuclear industry, and half -baked 'sweeteners' about accountability that didn't survive a minute of scrutiny.
It was a bad deal for the ordinary citizen and tax payer , and the other EU leaders kept the decision away from the public for that reason.
So, if the media won't go go into hysteria about the democratic choices of the Irish people, let them point the finger where the blame lies.
We didn't give the wrong answer, they gave us the wrong Treaty.
And on that, the people have made their judgement.
