I am asking you to vote no to the Lisbon Treaty because:
- What is it about 27 countries that cannot be reorganised for 15?
- Ireland’s neutrality also means seeking to prevent Latvian and Italian people from marching off to foreign wars.
- Unanimity is worth protecting because it protects smaller countries’ interests.
- Qualified Majority Voting will be extended to areas that we have not yet foreseen.
- I think our lives should be simpler, not more complex.
- Europe needs more health and education capacity, not military capacity.
- I want a more accountable parliament in Dublin, directly elected, with all of its flaws and parish pump politics.
Just vote.

People of Irland,

Vote No to the Lisbon Treaty
We are europeans who don’t have any right to vote against it.
Please VOTE NO FOR US !
Please, please, please SAY NO !
That’s not Karl back again is it? He really is picking up the lingo down there in the Canaries.
I will never be critical of a journalist again. They’re all great and write so well.
