'Irresponsible mavericks' that the Irish are, they tripped up the progression toward world government!!
article via Ireland Independent
I'm so glad that Irish voters stuck it to the EU regarding the Lisbon Treaty, saying they would not help push through a new, streamlined Union. I wish that one of the_United_States could still reject the bull.
Here's the cause of the 53% "Nay," according to an Irish gov't 'insider':
Not to mention how 'irrational' it is for Ireland to pay taxes to the EU, to be doled out at their kind discretion. Obviously the politician who convinces that 3.1% gets big perks from the EU.
Remember Kojo Annan to name just one of many evil leeches that show how irrational centralization of government is (past a point. like my fence)!

'People are deeply worried about their own futures, and they felt that the whole Lisbon thing took no heed of their predicament.
'Clearly, they took the opportunity to give us a kick. It may seem irrational, but since when were people supposed to behave rationally all the time?'
Did he really just make fun of the poor stupid commoners trying to kick their masters because of their economic hardship!!?? Certainly personal want has something to do with it, but maybe it's also that people realize how stupid it is to continue submitting to increasingly larger and more distant bodies of power.
