Irish EU referendum!
Posted: 9/26/2009 2:47:58 AM
I done a search and was unable to find anything specific to the second referendum in Ireland

I am aware it is the final week of the referendum campaign in Ireland, so a few questions I have are:

1) Given that the Irish have rejected the referendum once, why should they have to do it a second time?

2) Is the EU simply bullying a small member state given that the bigger member states who rejected the treaty have not been asked to vote again?

3) Is the fact that they have had to it again another example of how undemocratic the EU is?

Well its not first time EU did this. It was the same in Denmark, we voted No for EU and then they just waited a bit and made us vote again. I wonder how many times that would have happened if we had voted No again.
EU is like communism; It's a good idea in theory, but always turns sour in practice.

I will be voting no simply because we rejected it the last time and now we are being asked to vote again
What will happen if we reject it a second time?
Will there be a Lisbon 3?

Poland and Czechoslovakia are awaiting the Irish vote before they commit to signing on to the Lisbon Treaty..

vote No...you have nothing to lose but if you vote yes you lose Irish Independence.

Oh and think on about the very public crucification of Declan Ganley, he who is in favour of the no vote by the Irish media..it's quite extraordinary how they are opting to concentrate on him as their main focus for denigrating those who will opt for the NO vote - they've been doing it for some years, suggesting that he is in the pocket of so many criminal fraternities...that he has an agenda aside from good wishes for the future of Ireland..the latest being that his campaign for a no vote is being financially supported by a hedgefund, funded by anti EU types in the UK...

Silly stuff.

If you wish for Ireland to lose it's identity and hard won for independence as a republic vote yes..otherwise do the sensible thing.

I shall be voting NO to this stupif fooken referendum AGAIN!!!

We as Irish people, have not been educated enough to the Pro's and Con's of this treaty, and therefore i see it as a result of the politicians of this country having some hidden agenda!!

When we are told the truth, then we will respond, but until then, im having my say, and im not going to surrender my independence as an individual.

The "politicians" of this country got us into the mess we are in today...............let the people of Ireland stand together and get us out of it!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
