The clear message given by the Irish people is that they reject the construction of an undemocratic EU superstate. The people have spoken and must not be ignored unlike the first Nice referendum in the 26 Counties or the French and Dutch referenda in 2005 which rejected the EU Constitution -- the Lisbon Treaty and the EU Constitution are 96% the same document. A clear marker has been laid down to the Dublin and Brussels political establishments. The Irish people are not prepared to give over more power to an institution which they do not elect and which is not accountable to them. Three times in three years the people of three states have now said no to a militarised and unaccountable EU superstate. What also emerges from the referendum result is that a gulf has grown between the Dublin political establishment and the mass of the people. The line taken by the main 26-County political parties throughout the referendum campaign was that people need not understand the Lisbon Treaty or its implications but merely trust them in recommending its acceptance. The resounding rejection of Lisbon shows the people do not trust them. Ends. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Find the home of your dreams with eircom net property Sign up for email alerts now http://www.eircom.net/propertyalerts rsf.ie Republican Sinn Fein Head Office: 223 Parnell Street, Dublin 1, Ireland Tel: 872 9747 Fax: 872 9757 e-mail: [Е-ПОШТА ЗАШТИЋЕНА] Belfast Office: 229 Falls Road, Belfast, BT12 6FB, Co Antrim, Ireland.
