Lisbon Treaty - Thoughts?

Post  InTheMidst on Sun Jun 01, 2008 11:18 am

I'm still..in the midst...of reading the literature.Not the supposed objective literature provided by the Referendum Commission (although I have read it). I'm finding, as usual, the internet seems to be a better source of information!

Anyway, if you've any opinion on the Treaty itself, please do share Smile

I've read up as much as I can on the LT and I've decided on a "no" too. I went from being a firm "no" at the beginning, to giving it a chance and reading up on it properly, to weighing up each side of it and then finally returning to the decision that, not only have I issues with the treaty itself, but we're also being pushed into it.Watching the so-called debate on Q&A last night pretty much sealed my decision!

Watching Europarl at the moment Neutral A little more effective if they removed the dramatic soundtrack

q and a last night was a joke, im sure the government think we are stupid,I think cathy senott said it well - Would you sign a contract you didnt understand? though i wouldnt agree with her religous point of view i think she has a fair point in that statement.

Yeah, I saw her slogan up by Douglas last week - Definitely made me think again.

That thing about the font being made smaller so that they had 62 pages less but in fact added an extra 8,500 words - Anyone know if that's true?

I think it's deplorable that you can't spell Kathy Sinnott not to mention listen to that witch.
A woman who got €50 million off the state because she blamed the state for providing her son with a free mmr vaccine and somehow linked it to him having a mental illness.
She effectively ripped off her own electorate.

In any case "Would you sign a contract you don't understand?" was a stupid argument against the treaty. For the reason it wasn't hard to understand.

However I must congratulate the unholy alliance of the two most dodgy parties in Irish politics, Sinn Féin and Libertas, who on opposite ends of the political spectrum, managed to scare monger the irish people into rejecting something that would have been highly beneficial to them. Rolling Eyes
