Yep..they will do it. Brace yourself.
American Indian/English/Irish here.
Other than the first, we have the rest in common.
Treaties continually deprived the Indians of their rights ....after they quit trying to massacre the Europeans, anyway. :-)
Kudos to the Irish for seeing through the deceit.

The EU will undoubtedly follow up on the threat, and prayers that the Irish continue to stand tall.
The most important thing is that the ratification process must continue in the other countries and then we shall see with the Irish what type of legal arrangement could be found,” Jean-Pierre Jouyet told LCI television.
“We cannot take a country out of Europe that has been there for 35 years,” Jouyet added.

Meanwhile in Italy
A cabinet minister in Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s government on Friday welcomed the outcome of the Irish referendum, reported dpa.
“A thank-you goes to the Irish people for their vote,” Minister for Simplifying Legislation Roberto Calderoli was quoted as saying by the ANSA newsagency.
“Each time peoples have been called to vote, they have with clamour rejected a model of Europe which is seen as distant from the people themselves,” Calderoli, added.
Calderoli said Ireland’s rejection of the Treaty of Lisbon was in tune with the policies of his party, the Northern League which campaigns for devolving more power to Italy’s regions.
“Sovereignty belongs to the people and only the people can decide whether they want to give it up,” Calderoli said.
