GREENS SAY YES TO EU SUPERSTATE
Sunday, July 19, 2009 at 11:59AM
I read that the Irish Green Party has (narrowly) backed a decision to support the EU Constitution (Lisbon Treaty) come the Autumn poll.
However former Green Party MEP Patricia McKenna said that the Green Party’s support for the Lisbon Treaty will give the No campaign more credibility. Green Party delegates voted yesterday by a narrow margin to back the Lisbon Treaty referendum campaign, following a 214 to 107 result at a specially-called conference in Dublin. Ms McKenna said the support "and backtrack on its long standing campaign for a more democratic EU" would be "more of a hindrance than a help to the Yes side". "The voters would currently not buy a used car from the Green Party let alone a rejected treaty," she said.
It seems that we are all set for a re-run in Ireland of the previous poll on Lisbon with all the usual suspects lining up to plead for a "YES" vote. That means all the major parties, all the major news outlets, all the trade unionists and the bought off business community. The establishment says YES, just like it did last time.
It is my view that an economically panicked Irish people will indeed vote YES this time round - barring some unexpected event taking place between now and then. There is an urgency about this since the Irish "YES" has to take place before Britain kicks Labour out of power. An incoming Conservative government will give the people a referendum on Lisbon and all the Europhiles out there KNOW we will reject it. So in order to head off that further stalling moment, the Irish MUST say YES in the Autumn and the Treaty can then be ratified in defiance of the will of the peoples of the EU. This is the road to Eurotyranny, replete with total indifference by the Euro political elite to what the electorates want.

"An incoming Conservative government will give the people a referendum on Lisbon"
Of course they will.
No really.
