We all knew it was going to happen at some stage, we all knew that the euphoria over the Irish ‘No’ vote to the EU’s Lisbon (Constitutional) Treaty was only going to be short lived, and we all knew that in the EU ‘No’ never actually means ‘No’, but just a slight setback for the Eurocrats.
So when the Daily Mail (Monday 8th December 2008) had the headline: ‘Irish to vote on EU treaty again’ on page two, it was no surprise.
After their ‘No’ votes to the Nice and Lisbon treaties, the Irish still haven’t quite grasped how EU democracy works. In the EU ‘No’ votes don’t count as the electorate must have because of one of several things. 1: they did not understand the question. 2: they were not happy with their own government so they voted ‘No’ as a means to punish their ministers – it had nothing to do with the EU –of course. 3: they have got it wrong and must do it again, and as a final option, 4: why bother asking the silly buggers in a referendum if that’s their attitude, we will have to change the name of the treaty and present it as something else and don’t bother to ask them. Thus, the EU gets its wicked way each and every time. There’s nothing to beat EU democracy in action, how proud Lenin and Stalin would be of the EU.
So, the Irish government is now desperately trying to tinker around the edges of the dreadful Lisbon Treaty so that it can appease its master, the EU, and when done they will present it as something completely new and wonderful, despite it will be the same old second rate rubbish underneath its nice new wrapping. At sometime during 2009, the Irish will have to go to the polls and repeat the whole thing again with, no doubt, dire warnings that the world will come to an end if they don’t vote how they are supposed to.
Let’s hope that the Irish don’t fall for the same trick twice in a repeat of the Nice Treaty which they rejected first time around but succumbed at the second vote. We must all wish them well and prey that they are made of sterner stuff and give this nasty treaty another thumbs down – that really would put the EU and its federalist traitors in a spin.
If, by some miracle, the canny Irish defeat the EU again, then when you go out to celebrate, don’t have a pint of Guinness to do so – it supported the ‘Yes’ vote, have an Irish whisky or two instead.
