Without the Irish vote, the number of people deciding the nature of the integration of our continent of 490 million people would have been: 9,225 people. And all of them politicians to boot. But throw in a mere 3 million Irishmen, and already we have a far better representation about what the people really think of the European bureaucrats, who no doubt plan to drag us to the next stage in the inexorable process, whether that be kicking, screaming, or voting "No" to everything they propose for the next 30 years.
If they give us a vote, that is.
Details of the petition:
The Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty has resulted in a decisive no
vote.
However, politicians across Europe are calling for the ratification of
the Treaty to go ahead.
The British Government are planning to put the Lisbon Treaty to its
third and final reading in the Lords next Wednesday 18 June. This would complete
its ratification in the UK.
We believe that the Prime Minister should respect the result of the
Irish referendum and abandon the attempt to ratify the Lisbon Treaty.
