No ‘Deal’ On Lisbon Treaty, But Another Referendum On The Way?
June 21, 2008 (3 Responses)
IS IRELAND still a democracy? I know that sounds like a crazy question, but based upon the latest news worming its way out from central Europe I’m beginning to question if we do indeed live in a democracy or are we in fact operating as a form of oligarchy, or worse just a puppet state for Europe.

I KNOW the polling is not complete yet, but early indications are that despite huge pressure from the combined mainstream political parties for a ‘YES’ vote, the nation seems to have given them, and by association Europe, a big Fuck You! as far as the Lisbon Treaty is concerned. Read more

80% Of Irish People Do Not Understand Lisbon Treaty
April 28, 2008 (4 Responses)
A SURVEY released by the Referendum Commission today shows that – shockingly – approximately 80% of people surveyed do not yet understand what the Lisbon Treaty is about.
This is one of the most important treaties that Ireland has had to consider thus far in relation to European influence over our economic and military affairs, it’s due to go to a referendum in just under seven weeks… and yet most Irish people haven’t got a clue what it’s about yet.
It seems that just 5 per cent said they understood the treaty, while 15 per cent answered that they understood it to some extent. A total of 30 per cent did not know the name or subject of the referendum. I suspect, given recent polling on the topic, that the referendum is going to be one of the closest in living memory, considering the current difference between the Yes and No camps is only a few percentage points, and it’s pretty certain that this situation is only continue to change as the voting day looms ever closer.
