We may be broke but we’re not stupid

SO we’re having a rerun of the vote on the exact same Lisbon Treaty on October 2 – what a travesty of democracy. The Wall Street Journal was correct when it said (June 26): “In some countries they rig votes, in the European Union they repeat votes to get the desired result.”

The best description I can think of for this act is “Mugabesque”.

The assorted Yes-men of our failed government have helped run the economy into the ground, yet still think we will listen to them – as they call for a transfer of power from the people of Ireland to EU institutions. All I can say to Taoiseach Brian Cowen is – “we may be broke, but we’re not stupid.”
