Judgement Day 2

[ratewhore]

Early returns on the Irish Referendum indicate a big Flip You to the EU.

Although those in brussels won't give two hoots!!

Oh this is priceless.
I can't wait to see how Brussels tries to get out of this one!
My guess, they will pass all the changes as individual directives, one-by-one.

The BBC reports that "Many reportedly voted No because they did not understand the treaty".

So . . . *ahem* . . . . no stereotyping there, then.

Come on then, explain it to us, we're waiting...

I saw they had some turkey puppet doing the rounds, couldn't tell which side it was for, but it was bloomin funny.

Come on then, explain it to us, we're waiting...

How many of 'you' are there?

There's me and me and me and me and me and me and him over there...

Irish minister says EU vote lost

From the BBC blogosphere:

The ball is in the court of the Irish prime minister. Many politicians in Europe will hope that he will, at some later date, call another referendum.

I think countries fall into about 3 groups for this one.

IIRC Ireland is in the "make them vote again until they get the right answer" group.

(France is in the "they can have it anyway under a different name" group. The UK is in the "must never be allowed to vote on any aspect of EU whatever, or it will just be a proxy OUT vote" group).

Hello

But as we're all Spartacus anyway, I'm just talking to myself really.

Ho hum.
