Originally posted by meridian View PostThen you simply don’t understand how it all works.
Ireland voted against, the treaties were changed, they voted again because the treaties were now acceptable. That’s how democracy should work. Ireland got a referendum vote because this is what their constitution states.
The UK general public didn’t get a vote because, unlike Ireland, there is no constitution that requires it. You have voted in your representative to make decisions on your behalf. If you don’t like those decisions you can vote them out, and if enough people really don’t like those decisions then the government may change their mind early enough in advance to prevent losing MPs at the next election.
Democracy is not a one-time activity, why on earth would you think that a single decision needs to last for a generation?

Originally posted by woohoo View PostThis is an interesting read on Ireland and Denmark voting no then yes. It looks at the methods and approaches used the second time round.

In addition to the arguments on the guarantees, the Yes side emphasised the consequences of a second No vote such as potential exclusion from the EU and economic costs
With the Edinburgh Agreement, Denmark would have four opt-outs in the fields of European citizenship, economic and monetary union, defence policy, and justice and home affairs. Ireland, on the other hand, gained guarantees concerning its military neutrality with the Seville Declaration after the Nice referendum, and on the Irish commissioner, competency over tax rates, abortion, neutrality, and workers’ rights after the Lisbon referendum.Comment

And yes they should never been allowed to join the Euro, but Goldman Sachs faked a few documents so if anyone is to blame it's them.Comment

Now they complain about Germany lending them money to help them survive, how can that be logical?

Germany benefits from artificially lower Euro - that Greece lives in poverty is fine with them.
If Germany was not full of goose-stepping tyrannical Nazis, they would have a Merkel plan. Like the Marshall plan. Then Greece would spend 65% of its income. At the moment it is weighed down with interest payments.
I expect to be carried off to the gas chamber shortly. Dissenters must be eradicated. I would rather be ruled by the Daleks than Germany(which is what the EU is).Comment
