The Lisbon Treaty

I was flicking around today on a few of the irish groups on facebook, and came across this article posted about the Lisbon treaty.

Is about the only thing I’ve read so far on the treaty. This is obviously not an unbiased opinion methinks, but is more detail than I’ve seen on it so far.

The govt here is doing the same thing they did last time around, not bothering to tell us anything about it. I think that they’re not allowed to do the whole “trust us, it’s good for you, now be a good sheep and vote for it” that they did last time we had an EU treaty to ratify, thanks to some supreme court case which said they weren’t allowed come down on one side or other of an argument like this. This time tho, we haven’t even gotten any factual information about what’s in it, devoid of spin or no.

To my mind tho, one of the best reasons to vote for it is that the shinners are dead set against it........
