Politicians - in Europe
This sounds pretty ugly.
Actually, this sounds REALLY ugly.
I hope the Irish vote NO, just as they did before...

I found this in an article by Kirsty Walker in the U.K. Daily Mail Online:
"'It's a sad day for democracy when Europe's politicians gang up on their citizens, rather than trying to win over their trust.
'This Treaty has been voted down three times already. It should be dead.
'If EU politicians succeed in bullying the Irish people to reverse their decision, Britain will be forced to accept a Treaty that will weaken the power of ordinary voters in this country and across Europe.'
Tory Europe spokesman Mark Francois added: 'The people of Ireland have already rejected the Lisbon Treaty in a free and fair referendum so it remains to be seen whether their politicians will dare to ask them to do this again.
'In any event it would be very odd if the Irish people are asked to vote twice before the British people are even allowed to vote once.'"
