Ireland will have to hold a second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said.
Mr Sarkozy made the remarks to deputies at a meeting in his office earlier today.
UMP party deputies reported that Mr Sarkozy said: \\\'The Irish will have to vote again\\\' after the Treaty was rejected last month.
There panicing because poland wont ratify the treaty unless Ireland does..
"For the moment, the question of the treaty is pointless,"

That stupid Sarcozy!! What the f*@k does he even have to do with the EU? Apart from being president of France.. He does nothing but push the boundaries of totalitarianism in the EU, stir trouble in the Middle east by blindly backing Israel at every turn and keep the working classes in his own country down.
Democracy?? That twat doesn't even know the meaning of the word.
If we do have to vote again, i guarantee it'll be rigged.. it will be a rerun of the electronic Nice 2nd vote farce.
Sarcozy was the main force pushing the Poles to ratify, the Polish leader folded about two weeks ago.
What is Sarcozy's deal??

a rigged vote would be...eh...difficult with counting officers, though not impossible. i wonder how long it'll be before they start mumbling about trying to foist those electronic stations on us again.
if we vote no again i wonder what will happen.
