I look at the motley collection of wacko’s, from the socialist workers party to the extremist wings of Sinn Fein, who oppose the treaty and I find that I must vote for it.
That's what FF depend on.
An unelected president of Europe? No thanks!
FGMy point is that all of the middle ground (middle 90%) are supporting it. The 5% at either extreme are opposing it. That's a good enough reason for me.
No treaty is ever written in layman's terms; it's a legal document.....but what are they supporting exactly? Are the contents of the treaty explicitly called out in layman's terms. I have yet to see what the pro's/con's are with it.
Fully agree with the above. I'll be voting NO. There's nothing in this treaty for Ireland just giving the EU more power over us, that's why the YES camp won't argue on it's merits. The governments are shameless and brazen to repackage this constitution which has already been rejected by the French and Dutch people. The Irish people have an opportunity to speak for the peoples of Europe, whom have been denied a voice. The politicians serve us, not the other way around as they seem to think. A NO would be good for democracy and for Europe.no - the experiment has gone too far and needs to be reigned in - stick to the economic union.
The Irish Constitution is easy to read and understand. The latest EU treaty is unreadable by design.No treaty is ever written in layman's terms; it's a legal document.
