It doesn’t seem to matter what you are going to vote. Your government will do the same as mine and as the French. We voted no and we didn’t get a second chance. The just went ahead without us.

A second referendum about the same subject is always anti-democratic. It is meant to alter the result of the real referendum, just like other fraud is meant to change undesired outcomes of elections.

Well, since the Irish seem to be the last EU citizens to have some of their democratic rights intact, you might want to use it. Even the people that voted yes the first time should vote no this time. Thats the only appropiate reaction to an obvious insult by an anti-democratic EU not to respect your first referendum.

Let’s hope that Irish people will say yes…
But after that we will have to wait about the Czech ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, which is still a problem…!
And of course you don’t have to be fool to accept the Treaty, it’s time for the EU to go one step further.

Let’s hope the Irish rejects the Treaty.

Which citizen of the EU accepts half democracy with the executive as the legislator in the Council of Ministers?

You have to be fool to give the executive a legislative power.

A possible Icelandic request for membership would help a lot, too. It would show the value of membership in trouble.
