Gordon Brown has welcomed the result of the Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The man who shamefully broke a manifesto pledge to give the UK a referendum, even though polls suggests overwealming opposition, has issued a typically smug statement. The result may lead the way for the treaty to be fully ratified before the next General Election.
The fact the Irish have been asked to vote again after saying 'no' the first time, as Denmark were over Maastrict several years ago, shows yet again the EU is a corrupt institution that has no regard for the democratic wishes of the people of Europe and further relegates the EU to utter irrelevancy in the face of the USA and other growing powers like China and India. By comparison the EU is fast becoming a third rate backwater.
Brown's backing for this shows again he needs kicking out as soon as possible, maybe we should now seriously consider withdrawing from the EU too. A dilemma for David Cameron, and indeed the newly Tory Sun Newspaper, who would have led the anti-Lisbon campaign if we had got a referendum, if the treaty is ratifed before our general Election, surely the choice is accept it or leave. Do they have the guts to finally do it?
