Don't you just love the Irish?. Friday the 13th is unlucky for some, but in this case the some don't matter.
One of the overwhelming reasons why people are unloving of the EU steamroller is because steamrollers are pretty effective at steamrolling. The arrogance of the EU elite is there for us all to see. The only nation that has had the opportunity to vote on the treaty has rejected it by a large majority. By my account that is 3 votes no to the constitution, or treaty.
I know it is customary in medical circles to ask for a second opinion before declaring a corpse dead- but surely a 3rd opinion along the same lines is somewhat conclusive.
Jim Murphy the UK Europe Minister was a disgrace this morning on the Today programme. He declared the corpse living, and that ratification would continue even though the rules state unanimity is needed before it can come into being. He says we must respect the wishes of the Irish people, but what about respecting the wishes of the British people. Oh sorry, I forgot- WE ARE THE SOME IN THIS CASE WHO DO NOT MATTER.
Unelected elites like Jose Manuel Barroso, Javier Solana, Hans Gert Pottering will be telephoning elected politicians directing the lines to take. Unelected PrimeMinister Brown will do their undemocratic bidding.
Thankfully Czech President Vaclav Klaus has gone off piste and declared the treaty dead.
That is where it should remain. Dead and Buried.
Brown will come to the Commons on Monday and waffle and bluster. It is illogical to continue with ratification in the Uk as the Irish have rejected it and it needs unanimity.
Do you get the feeling that the oil lamps will be lit well into the Brussels night as the faceless and, in many cases, nameless bureaucrats who have never contested an election in their lives scheme as to how they will be able to circumvent the democratic "Irish NO".
I have one question now for Gordon Brown. Is he under any doubt as to how the British people would have voted had they been given the referendum on the EU constitutional treat which they were promised?.
The answer to the question is simple- ......there is only one way to find out. If he wishes to continue the process then have the guts to go to the people. Bring it on!
Do you know what they are afraid of?.
If you said no, then you would be 100% right....NO,NO,NO. Which part of this word don't they understand?.
