No doubt many Irish and other Europeans will have by now digested the blunt assertion of French President Nicolas Sarkozy that the Irish will “have to vote again” on Lisbon.
It was once again an insight into the two tier EU of double standards and a widening democratic deficit.
President Sarkozy also said that France would veto any further EU enlargement until the Lisbon Treaty was ratified, so in fact what Sarkozy is proposing is a double veto. He is vetoing the Irish referendum result and adding a second veto on enlargement.
So here is how the EU really works, two vetoes for the French President none for the Irish people.
Hey !
I’m a french citizen and I tell you you’re right !
Sarkozy is really crazy.
I’m very happy that the people of iRELAND says NO to the Lisboa Treaty.
You said no for the same reason French people says No the first time.
But this anti-democratic president didn’t let us the choice to say NO again.
Thank you for being our voice for the NO.
Your VETO is our VETO….

Have you noticed how all the adverts for visiting Ireland now say this advert funded by the EUROPEAN
Union (Now known as the Evil Union). They are certainly splashing the cash to make Ireland change its mind
