Still I have to smile when we have one poster stating that the the result is good because the EU are socialists when they majority support for the no vote came from what are predominantly Ireland's socialists. |
First of all - thank you for linking us to Javno - Naked News is the best thing; I guess that is your favourite!
Nevertheless, can you kindly tell us which post you refer to? Thank you. Reference you understand. Why do you suppose that 54% of Ireland's electorate are socialists; rather patronising, that. Never heard of Irishmen? Or small d democrats?
I have to say that I find the stance of your response to Ireland's democracy in action irrelevant, because the Irish have not voted to leave the EU by any means. The have taken a stan d against the expansion of the super-state, the imposition of increased rule from Brussels into all areas of their lives. The removal of so much power from their national government. This is not the circumstance they undertook originally. They used their constitutional rights to remind their government and the EU that Ireland is still a democracy. Just as we would, given the chance; but our democracy has been temporarily suspended by Gordon Brown in this respect.
The EU has become a shameful, corrupt institution, the accounts of which have not been signed off for many years.
The Irish were told by their politicians that they themselves had not read the treaty, becuase it was too big, and that the public should not bother because they would not understand it.
Just sign on the dotted line??
Accept the authoritarian , rather than the democratic line , should they?
