Sign a Petition to Support the Irish Vote on the Lisbon Treaty

The Irish voted No! Why does it seem that the European political class seem as though they intend to carry on regardless of what the citizens (or should I say subjects) of Europe think? The arrogance of the EuroElite is stagering, not only do they actively prevent referenda in most countries, when one country does have one it appears that the instrinct of the Europhiles is to ignore the will of the people.

When it was called a Constitution the future Lisbon Treaty was rejected by the French and the Dutch. The powers that be changed a few things round and scratched the word 'Constitution' and did their best to prevent anyone ever having a say about it again. The Irish, due to the wisdom of their own constitutional arrangements, and despite the pressure that was brought to bear on them by the denizens of the EU corridors of power, had the chance to endose that Treaty but they did not. Could this have something to do with the European Union not only being un-democratic but, even more seriously, being anti-democratic? The lack of willingness to take no for an answer clearly displays the European Union's anti-democratic credentials.

There is a petition on the Downing Street website that gives people the chance to express the outrage at such antidemocratic antics. The wording reads as follows:

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Respect the result of the Irish referendum and abandon the attempt to ratify the Lisbon Treaty."

The petition can be found at the following URL:

I would suggest that all those who believe in the principles of democracy and freedom sign this petition.

Please note: Deadline 22 June 2008
