The Real Reason
Despite public protestations from most EU leaders and Commissioners to the contrary, it is becoming increasingly clear that the only public vote on the Lisbon Treaty will not be respected.
Vice President of the EU Commission, Margot Wallström has given the game away and admitted the real reason why the elite feel it is perfectly acceptable to ignore the Irish Referendum result on the Lisbon Treaty.
Speaking in a debate on the Lisbon Treaty in which anti-treaty MEPs held a protest, Ms Wallström told the EU Parliament:
Don’t forget the European leaders have invested a lot of political capital into this whole procedure.
So, there you have it. The European political elite can safely ignore Irish public opinion because they have put a lot of effort into securing their Constitution. That must make it alright then.
