The attitude of our Lords and masters summed up in two sentences

"With 24 countries having approved the treaty, I am not sure whether the voters of Ireland should have a right of veto over the aspirations of all the other people of Europe. I am not sure whether that is, or is not democracy."

Lord Malloch-Brown in the House of Lords on Monday.

Perhaps someone could explain to Lord Malloch-Brown what democracy is, maybe with reference to how an unelected person gets to sit in the House of Lords and make laws for this Country.
