Lisbun 3

cosmicfart

Listening to the news just there and apparently they (Eurotwats as Gay Byrne calls em) are proposing to make huge changes to the lisbon referendum (that thing all Political parties forced us to vote for or would we end up were we are now!) without the need for suffrage (cool word for voting). Personally I think we should be entitled to vote again on this and do a Fiannia FAILure (100% no vote fook off France/germany/Belgium). Im really no in the mood to be conscripted into the Eurozone army (when the war comes).

Sure wasn't that a major part of the NO TO LISBON campaign, the fact that the EU could change it without having a vote?!
This is not much a surprise.

Free the Lisburn 3!!!

I hate this attitude - ha ha he said Lisbun - so ****ing what - his point is good - in essence - yes we are heading towards Lisbon3 and 4 etc

I would guess that the EU will be a US stye union in less than 20 years. central finance management, army, foreign policy the lot. Think Ireland being like a county council and the Dail being Brussels (code for Berlin)

Jim Corr was actually right...

..and just like back then, it's total blown out of all proportion now too.

The treaty is self-amending.
The treaty contains an article, sometimes referred to as a "ratchet clause", allowing member states to agree that decisions currently taken only by means of a unanimous vote, can in future be taken by a mere majority vote (though this is ruled out in the area of defence). It also contains provisions allowing the objectives of most EU policies to be amended.
Both of these procedures allow EU treaties to be revised without an intergovernmental conference (IGC). So could it be that in future EU treaties will be changed incrementally, without fanfare, depriving opponents even of the chance of campaigning for a referendum?
Yes and No. There are two important caveats: member states would still have to take the decision unanimously, just as they would at an IGC; and all national parliaments would have to approve. Opponents would still be able to campaign against such changes, though they would probably find it even harder to secure a referendum than it already is.
Most major institutional reforms, or the creation of new EU competences, would still require an IGC. (And the UK government, in its white paper on the treaty, says it would insist on an IGC for any "fundamental change" to the treaties.) So-called "simplified methods" of treaty revision are not entirely new. In 2004, most aspects of asylum and immigration policy were moved from unanimous voting to majority voting in this way. And there have long been other provisions allowing, for example, changes to the statutes of the European Central Bank, or the distribution of seats in the European Parliament, without an IGC.

Note how defence is specifically ruled out. :eek: So much for conscription and the eurozone army. This nonsense about the treaty being changed left right and centre when someone in Brussels wants it is total and complete utter rubbish.

Good, since when has a leader in Ireland shown competence? If we become someone else's responsibility, maybe then Ireland can become efficient, honest, and not a country where the ruling parties serve to make their friends rich and keep them out of trouble with the law

Hence the overreaction to the typo. It distracts from the original meaning of the thread in the hope that it will go away and not be talked about.
I see it a lot here.
Lisbon 3 you say? I shall look into it.

Oh noes, the Euroliberal Army will invade Ireland to snatch the feotuses out of our women.

Mandatory conscription and abortion is inevitable.

The funny thing about all the morons posting on this thread is that they were the same people who voted no they first time and then, when the second time came around and told to vote yes, the done what all good sheep do. Better the devil you know, ill vote fianna fail till they fook up the country and then and only then change my allegiance.

PS fook Europe
