What exactly are we reforming in this treaty? (The Lisbon Reform Treaty). Vincent Browne in The Sunday Business Post gives a refreshingly precise answer.
I’ve good reason to be pro-European. In fact I’ve many good reasons, and I am all for the European project; but it appears that our mainstream politicians are being profoundly undemocratic in asking us to vote for something we couldn’t possibly understand.
The ball is in their court. Persuade me with reason, not obfuscation.
Isn’t it a bit un-democratic that the rest of Europe is not getting a chance to vote on such an important issue?
I would think so.
