Pro-Europe but anti-Lisbon

IF I HAVE one worry, it is that European leaders and, more importantly, our fellow European citizens may misread our no vote.

I cast a pro-European vote against adopting an EU constitution as outlined in the Lisbon Treaty. Large photos of politicians above the words ‘Lisbon is Good for You’ did not cut it with me. Guinness used to have a similar slogan.

The Lisbon Treaty was primarily lost in Dublin. Our politicians never properly explained it; they brazenly admitted to not having read it and they asked us to trust them. Trust them!
