Eurosceptics should stick to the facts

I AM sick of all the eurosceptics who keep pronouncing “Ireland said No” to the Lisbon Treaty.

Eurosceptics should stick to the facts

The vote was only no by a small minority (53.4% to 46.6%), which of course is enough in a democracy but it is hardly Ireland resoundingly saying no. People voted on information from both sides that was poor, misleading and sometimes false.

The reason nothing has really changed for the second referendum is because nothing needs to change as a lot of the concerns people had were based on falsehood.
