Lost cause

IT is sickening to watch the political bluffing being carried out by the Government over the Lisbon Treaty rejection.

They claim they have listened to the people and we are worried about a commissioner, abortion and neutrality. In reality, they talked among themselves and decided they would tell us these were our problems and then they would address them with meaningless minor declarations they believe they can get away with.

The unpalatable reality for them is that years of their lies and deceit spent enriching themselves and their friends at our expense have left voters cynical and angry. Put simply, we do not believe a word from these go-boys (and girls). I suggest if the major parties had urged us to vote no, the Lisbon Treaty would have sailed through.
