That wasn’t as much as EU response as Irish national politicians response. Don’t blame EU for the Irish own decision to hold the vote again.
[/quote] incorrect . a vote took place within the EU parliament
"The European Parliament undertakes to respect the outcome of the referendum in Ireland’.
the result ? By a huge majority (499 to 129) European MEPs voted against the motion and the referendum was not upheld .
The Lisbon treaty must be ratified by all 27 member states or it cannot go ahead.
That is the legal position and it means an Irish ‘no’ vote is an automatic veto of the treaty binding the entire EU.
Any country is entitled to use a veto and no country can be punished for doing so.
A veto is not only a right — it is a guarantee.

I met a 50something Brit in Prague who works here who was telling me he can’t wait until UK leaves EU. My response was asking him whether he already packed his things then. Somehow it never occurred to him that his right to live and work here is in EU law and that once UK is out, so is his right to live and work in EU countries.
[/quote] what horse shit are you shovelling . typical argument . try and word it as if without the EU no one can work abroad in Europe . its called a fucking work permit and visa . all he would have to do is apply for a visa which would likely be accepted and he wouldnt have to go anywhere . that is what the 2 year leaving process is there for .
this is not about any individual however this is far greater than anyone person
