The Irish have voted yes to the Lisbon treaty at the second attempt if they had voted no another referendum would be held in a year or so and and every year until the Irish had caved in.
The treaty is supposed to streamline decision making within the EU but in reality its the old school network looking after each other, it needed all 27 member states to agree before it could be made binding. the Czechs and Poles had held out but it looks likely now that they to will sign up to, the Czechs could yet throw a spanner in the works by waiting until we have our general election. if that were to happen The Conservatives have promised the British public a referendum on the Treaty, this Country would vote a resounding no thus scuppering the ratification. So expect lots of pressure to be bought on the Czech Premier to sign before our election is held in May.
We in this Country already suffer enough being a part of Europe and their ridiculous rule making, the last thing Britain needs is to give more power away.
