I Wouldn’t Start From Here
Not one word of the Lisbon Treaty has changed. The Irish Government has secured nothing more than the messages in a few greetings cards. Every argument for the last No vote still stands, along with the sheer offensiveness of this second referendum, a reason in itself to vote No even if you voted Yes the first time. The EU has never lost a second referendum on the same treaty and in the same country. That is why it keeps holding them. But what would happen if it did lose one? Ireland, it’s over to you.
