Europe don't recognise the voice of it's people, it views them as just dumb animals and it takes the view that populist opinion among voters leads to leaders like Hitler. That's why the idea of a European empire ruled by only elites who know what's best for us arose after WW11.
The Irish NO vote will be seen as a baby throwing it's toys about the pram that's all, Europe will carry on ignoring it's people regardless.
Believe me, people all over Europe, not just in the UK are going to see the real horror of the overbearing eurocractic empire that they've blindly ignored. Peace comes at the price of eternal vigilance and we've been asleep for at least 30 years.
“Britain should put this to a referendum. Instead, they intend to ram it through Parliament because they are afraid of the outcome.”
I agree that they are afraid of the outcome, but let me ask this questions of the American posters on this thread:
The US Constitution was not approved by popular referendum. It was approved in the various state legislatures (i.e. parliments). What makes it OK for our Constitution to be approved this way and not the European one?
Anyone have thoughts on this?
