Relying on the Irish to vote "NO" may not be viable

England Expects reports that "Amendment 32 of the Corbett Report on the Lisbon Treaty that "-2a. Undertakes to respect the outcome of the referendum in Ireland." was DEFEATED...129 in favour, 499 Against, 33 Abstentions" And as they say in the Eurovision Song Contest, these are the votes of the British jury (of MEPs) -

"Yes

Batten, Farage, Knapman, Nattrass, Titford, Deva


No

Attwooll, Davies, Duff, Hall, Ludford, Lynne, Newton Dunn, Wallis, Watson, Atkins, Beazley, Nicholson, Purvis, Cashman, Corbett, Corbey, Ford, Honeyball, Howitt, Hughes, Hutchinson , Kinnock, McAvan, , Martin David, Moraes, Morgan, Simpson, Sinner, Stihler, Titley, Willmott,


Abstain

Ashworth, Bowis, Bradbourn, Bushill-Matthews, Callanan, Chichester, Dover, Evans Jonathan, Harbour, Jackson, Kirkhope, McMillan-Scott, Parish, Stevenson, Sturdy, Sumberg, Tannock, Van Orden, Hannan, Helmer, Wise."


That's six in favour of democracy - five UKIP MEPs and Nirj Deva of the Conservatives.

All Labour and LibDem MEPs voted against democracy in this instance, whilst most of the Conservative MEPs abstained - Christopher Beazley, John Purvis and Sir Robert Atkins would appear to be Conservative MEPs who voted to ignore the will of the only people to be given a vote on the Lisbon Treaty.


If you hear any of these MEPs - Attwooll, Davies, Duff, Hall, Ludford, Lynne, Newton Dunn, Wallis, Watson, Atkins, Beazley, Nicholson, Purvis, Cashman, Corbett, Corbey, Ford, Honeyball, Howitt, Hughes, Hutchinson , Kinnock, McAvan, , Martin David, Moraes, Morgan, Simpson, Sinner, Stihler, Titley, Willmott - talking about democracy, tell them where they can go...




This is disgusting but not really a surprise, the EU project will go forward whatever happens; the people showed they cannot be trusted in the last set of referenda and so refernda will not be allowed for the majority of countries and if any country does hold a referendum it will be ignored. The EU - "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein stimme" (One people, one empire, one vote).
