Will it have an impact on the economy in Europe? Is it going to break the European Union apart? I probably should read up some more on the issue before adding my two cents. My original comment was “Good for the Irish to vote NO”. More countries, had it been up for vote, probably would have had a s…

From what I have heard, the other governments are going to proceed with implementing Treaty compliance regardless. There is a general disbelief amongst the political class that the people could be so foolish as to vote for nationalism and sovereignty over the federalizing of Europe, and some pundits…

I just delays the inevitable. The EU will get the treaty pushed through it will just take a little longer. The Lisbon treaty essentially rolls all the other treaties made into one single one and greatly expands the power and authority of the EU over member states. The globalist will eventually get t…

You’re an idiot. What evidence do you have that the UN is “fading into irrelevance”? If anything it get’s stronger every year. Do a little research instead of blindly go along with everything you’re told.

The NO campaign did a lot of scaremongering about EU-wide taxation (not mentioned in the treaty at all), EU militarilisation and “privatisation of health and education”.

The problem is that they can hold the referendum again and again each year. Did Ireland vote against the EU this year? They can vote again next yer. Once you vote to join the EU, it’s practically impossible to withdraw. I read that many provisions of the EU are being implemented via treaty. That’…

Do you guys know why Ireland held a referendum to the Treaty? The all point of renaming the Consitution as the Treaty was to avoid the referendums which went very bad were they were voted. Were the people there outreagous that the Constitution referendum was not uphold or something? Were there no at…

I heard on the Beeb that the way their constitution is structured they have to put major treaties like this to a vote. Assuming they actually have a constitution that is…feel free to substitute ‘founding document’ if need be. My favorite part of all this is the utter outrage through Europe that 3…

Okay. I thought the Lisbon Treaty had already been signed by the states at the time, but it seems the ceremony and all the signing was just some agreement to the draft… I don’t really know much about the EU. I think we have some voting for EU members, but I certainely don’t remember ever talking wit…
