Excellent news.
Europe is the way forward. Ireland should not be allowed to stand in the way of a much greater project. That's not democracy. That's less than half a million people in one of the smallest EU countries blocking the development and progress of the rest of Europe.
Ireland should in fact be left stand in the way of "progress"....why i hear you ask..well its simple...thats the way the system works, it was voted on and ratified by all member states! I am very pro-europe and i believe this treaty is the way forward but to suggest that one country blocking the rest isnt fair when in fact it was previously agreed thats the way things work (nice treaty) is utter stuipidity on your or any one elses part who thinks like that!

That's not democracy. That's obstruction. It's fair. But its also fair that the rest of Europe will use their collective will to bring about a more amicable solution.
Just over half those who voted, voted no! Throughout Europe that is!

And is suppose you have read the new treaty front to back???Not the condensed version the actuall full treaty???I think not!You need a law degree to understand it and access to all the other treaties that this one amends, cause that is all it does, change a few words in the old treaties, and inserts a few new paragraphs which will be very beneficial to europe as a whole! If you fail to see the benefits of a more streamlined and cost effective europe then thats your problem.
It increases the prosperity of Europe. It creates new consumers; reduces poverty and various other problems such as immigrants, lax borders and illegal immigration.
