Oh, of course, the Irish must not understand. Maybe 289 pages of bureaucratic gibberish could be replaced by a 1 page constitution that everyone could understand, even Prime Ministers.

So, Denmark didn't understand in 1992, France nor the Netherlands in 2005, Ireland in 2001 and again now. Only 28% of Britain supports this business, yet Gordon Brown has joined the cabal. That is why none of these other countries got a chance at a referendum again.

Look out people. Your democracy is slipping away. Your pols and Eurocrats are feeding at the trough. Who else benefits from this that they keep pushing it down your throats?

If an employer doesn't like the product of an employee, he can fire the employee. In this case the employee is the people...

typical socialist manipulation. If you don't join us voluntarily we'll isolate and quilt you into compliance with the mob.

Well done Ireland... You have showed tremendous strength and courage in being able to stand up against the vicious 'Vote YES or perish' scare campaign that was waged against you. Your small step, has not only proven that democratic principles will overcome Eurocratic ambitions, but has also highlighted the lengths that some in the ruling elite will take to get their treaty through. Lisbon is dead! Long live London, Dublin, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Warsaw, Rome, Amsterdam, Lubjiana, Sofia... 'united in diversity'

Throw Ireland out of the EU. They've become what they are thanks to their membership. Less than 1% deciding the fate of the treaty is not exactly 'democracy' at it's best.

If it were such a good deal, the Irish should just be jumping off a cliff to join. Heck, even St. Patrick had it easier and look what he was selling!

The question you should be asking is: Why aren't they?

How about an America's Union (AU)? Okay now, rethink what Ireland was saying.
