I always thought it was a womans preogative to change her mind however an entire nation has decided to do a complete turnaround. Last June The Irish voted ‘NO’ and resoundingly rejected the Lisbon Treaty being put forward by the EU – yesterday, in a complete about-face, they turned out for a second go at this referendum and voted ‘YES‘.

Make up your minds people!

I am somewhat confused by this national change-of-mind by the Irish; why was a second referendum even held when the people had already voted…? the acceptance of this Treaty means a lot of things to a lot of people in Brussels and especially to one Tony Blair who is waiting with baited breath to assume the cushiest and best paid job in the Northern Hemisphere…the President of the European Union. What a stinker that will be and his appointment will undoubtedly be the most unpopular choice of all.

Blair denied the British people a chance to vote in their own referendum, sent the United Kingdom down the toilet and then abandoned ship and took off into that sunset of lucrative retirement. No wonder Blair was so opposed to the British people deciding the future of their own nation within the EU…he did not want a result he could not control.

The new European superstate is even closer now; the Irish have secured the future of Europe and the United Kingdom by voting Yes. The Irish have an economy that is very reliant on EU funding; they have no jobs, they are unsure of their own government, their banks are screwed and they accept that voting Yes will keep their economy afloat. How ironic that a nation which had fought so hard for independence and autonomy now votes to be carried and supported by a European conglomerate – and with a former British PM very possibly at it’s helm.

But at least the Irish where given the chance to vote…
