Czech president Vaclav Klaus, who is supported by the country's largest
political party, called the Irish referendum vote a “victory of freedom
and reason” and said “ratification cannot continue”.
His view was echoed in the Czech senate.
“Politicians have allowed the citizens to express their opinion only in a
single EU country,” Mr Klaus said.
“The Lisbon treaty project ended with the Irish voters' decision and its
ratification cannot continue,” he wrote on his own website, according
to Czech news agency CTK.

The Czech Republic, traditionally one of the more Euro-skeptic of the EU's 27
member states, is one of nine countries which have not yet ratified the
treaty.
While little opposition to continued ratification has been seen yet among
leaders of the other eight, efforts to keep the Lisbon Treaty alive in any
form would be near impossible if another country joined Ireland in rejection.
A summit of EU leaders will look for possible solutions to the institutional
crisis next week.
What part of NO do they not understand !!
The Liberty Bell is ringing, politicians will ignore it at their peril.
There is no left or right in UK politics any more. This battle is about one thing, Authoritarianism versus Liberty.
