The Irish go back to the polls as they gave the wrong answer last time. The big battalions of the EU have done their best to persuade the Irish that a "No" vote would not be in their interests and so if all goes to the EU's plan the Lisbon Treaty will be ratified by all except the Czechs and the Poles and it's only the Czechs that might delay this Treaty for more than a month or so. The Mail reports that
"(Tony) Blair is set to become EU President within weeks if Ireland votes 'Yes' in its referendum on the Lisbon Treaty tomorrow. The former prime minister's candidacy for the new post will be rushed through as quickly as possible, according to government sources."Rushed to ensure that an incoming Conservative government can do nothing about the Treaty.
So people of Ireland - vote YES and get Blair, is that what you really want?
