Lisbon Treaty-is it an EU constitution
I think it is and will be voting against it, as I understand it we in Ireland are the only EU state who will have a referendum on this. How democratic is that?

This is what People before profit have to say :-
"The Irish people are the only citizens who will be allowed to vote on the Lisbon Treaty, so we will be voting on behalf of the other 450 million people in Europe who are denied a vote. We are all pro-European, but we believe strongly in the need for a positive version of Europe. There are compelling reasons for Voting NO in the Treaty referendum. The Lisbon Treaty includes the EU Constitution which was REJECTED by the people of France and Holland. The totally undemocratic way in which a new constitution for Europe is being rammed through is good enough reason to vote No! The EU is developing as a military power, involving Ireland, for example, in French-dominated colonial adventure in Chad. The Lisbon Treaty copper-fastens such developments. The Treaty gives a legal base to EU 'battle groups' which can be deployed within days to fight 'resource wars' in Africa or the Middle East. It also gives constitutional support to NATO, and further requires countries to INCREASE their military spending – thus diverting money from pubic services. The claim that the Charter of Fundamental Rights is a compensation for these defects is RIDICULOUS! The Charter gives us no extra legal rights than are presently contained in many national constitutions! Lets say NO to the Lisbon Treaty and discuss a more positive alternative for Europe!"

It's interesting to note the English have an unelected Prime Minister, forcing decisions on constitutional convention without electoral consent, who was responsible for throwing our country into an economic recession...and yet there are no protests on the streets when he clings firmly to the office in which he does not belong.
It shows the stupidity of the British people as much as it does the incompetency of the idiot 'in charge'

If we reject it, it can't go through anywhere else in Europe either.
