Whither the European Union: Where now after Ireland votes down the
Lisbon Treaty.

Some of the media's analysis as to what lay behind Irelands no vote
against the Lisbon Treaty was pretty thin gruel. Even pro EU
progressives seem to have completely lost the plot, one prominent
commentator claimed those devious Shinners and their colleagues in the
No campaign acted in the most clever way when they advised voters, "If
you have not read or understood the treaty it would be safer to vote
'No'.

Why such advise should be regarded a clever, code for underhanded I

clients, "if you have failed to understand a document or are yet to
read it, on no account put your moniker upon it."
