p> GAELIC PRIDE br> Re: George H. Wittman's Irish Eyes Aren't Smiling : /p> p>Will the EU insist on new votes until it finally gets what they want? In any normal society, one referendum on an issue usually suffices, but note I said normal. The EU has been trying to bully Great Britain for years, even to the point of dictating how many times a month the English should have their trash collected. The Brits are getting tired of it, and would walk away from EU if they could vote on the issue of being in the EU. Of that I am certain. They were conned in the first place by an unscrupulous Prime Minister and the Brits have been suffering since. They are being choked by the huge number of immigrants allowed to enter Britain, and if this policy is not changed soon, it will destroy what was once a wonderful country. br> -- Jac Mills br> USA /p>

George H. Wittman's analysis of the effect of the Irish "no" vote on the EU's previously-rejected Constitution, now cleverly disguised as the Lisbon "Treaty" (well, not so cleverly disguised), was very good as far as it went. May I respectfully fill it out?

It should be added that only three countries have been allowed to present the ConstiTreaty to their electorate for a referendum, and all three rejected it.

The British referendum -- solemnly promised by all three major parties at the last election -- was rudely dismissed by the government of Gordon Brown on the grounds that the original EEC vote by referendum decades ago settled the matter. There have been rumblings of a general strike, civil disobedience, and even armed rebellion. Not a joke.

Furthermore, the EU politicrats continue to describe the ConstiTreaty as a refining of what's already there, blatantly ignoring a nest of vipers hidden in the reeds, not the least of which is a very powerful executive, a more-powerful Foreign Minister, a section making it more difficult for member states to avoid EU diktats, and others.
