Lisbon Treaty

Post by slayerdiabolus »

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/bre ... king39.htm

Has anyone been paying attention to this? That wanker Sarkozy wants us to vote again.

The Irish people decide something via a democratic referendum....the EU doesn't like what we decided so now they are going to get us to vote on the exact same thing again..

What.a.load.of.bollocks!!

I'm pissed off! :mad:

Well, I doubt it will happen... Ofcourse it worked once in 2002, but I don't think the Irish government will agree to repeat the referendum this time.
In my opinion EU should wait a year or two and renegotiate the treaty before Croatia's accession. Beacause, let's face it, EU needs a new treaty and serious institutional changes to be able to develope in the future and enlarge on the new countries.

When you find out how much money Ireland got from the EU maybe you will change your mind. The problem with the eu however is that its too complicated to understand. I tried reading the constitution and it was too much for me.. and fuck I`m even studying this subject... haha

yeah, my entire studies are about EU, and the new treaty was complicated as fuck ;P But I must agree with Otto that maybe the Irish society haven't got enough information from their government about this treaty... (if I remember well, even Irish PM said that he didn't read this treaty) It was hard to understand for people that are familiar with the subject, not mentioning the people that don't give a flying fuck about the european law and all this stuff connected with EU.

he knows so much how to "handle the words" that he insulted (at least once, damn mobile phones...) a french citizen : do you seriously think that it's a suitable presidential attitude ?

as far as ireland is concerned i think that they will bypass the popular will...

EU = MASS CONFUSION
I don't think the governing heads within the EU even understand the laws and regulations.

I have to agree with Invaders after reading some articles and seeing some documentaries about this subject. Ireland seems to get a LOT of money and i'm not sure if the irish people realize that. Europe indeed needs a new treaty and I am kinda worried about is going to happen now.

I am not saying that another vote is the right thing to do but I am not sure if some people realize how much money they get from the Union.
