Jump To Comment: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1If he says it's crazy to think the EU would get rid of true democracy, why are they currently not letting the people of 26 countries vote on it. Democracy is rule of the people. France and Netherlands already voted no. And if it's crazy to think the EU will not respect democracy why did he vote not to respect Ireland's wishes. If he really thinks we are going to vote yes, why would he vote against respecting that. He's not a servant of the people. He should be thrown out for his vote and propaganda.
Lisbon Treaty documentary being release on Google videos next Tue. End of Nations.
DeRossa masqueraded as a socialist (an ultra left one in his opinion) for about 20 years. In reality he was a middle class exploiter with a small shopkeeper mentality . This wealthy socialist had a sweat shop in red cow lane exploiting inner city women. He promised to donate all his compo from the Inde court case to charity and did, FF style, all into his own bank account. He and Bertie both swear by their brand of socialism and republicanism, me feinism. If Derossa supports this treaty you can be sure he is getting something out of it.
There are only 6 words on the environment in the Lisbon treaty, they add nothing.
There is 20 times as much on space exploration in this treaty.
De Rossa shows his contempt for democracy once more.
The Lisbon Treaty's contribution to the environment is to add six (yes S I X ) words to the previous wording as follows: "...promoting measures....to deal with.....environmentla problems a n d i n p a r t i c u l a r c o m b a t t i n g c l i m a t e c h a n g e!" (Art 174.1 TEFU). Call it symbolic, call it what you like, the Lisbon Treaty adds nothing to the hard task of combatting climate change.
As for de Rossa, along with some of his MEP colleagues, he went and voted a g a i n s t respecting the vote of the Irish people on the referendum on the renamed EU Constitution (the Lisbon Treaty). As Roger Cole says above, what are they going to do if our people vote NO - as I believe they will!! Will they invade us or as Brecht used to say, "elect a new people"......It is, of course, likely that we will have a rerun of the Nice debacle.....we don't like how you voted, now you must vote again!!
VOTE NO!!
Can anyone find me the relevant part of the Lisbon Treaty which deals with Climate Change? I've never seen it.
So now we know. 499 MEPs refused to vote in favour of respecting the vote of the Irish people on the referendum on the renamed EU Constitution (the Lisbon treaty).
What are going to do if the Irish people vote no? Are they going to send in the EU Battle Groups just like the BU sent in the Black and Tans when in 1918 the Irish people voted to establish the Republic?
This vote by the 499 MEP's is an indication of the vicious hatred they have for anbody who believes in national democracy, whether they are Irish, French or Dutch.
To quote from a document written by better people than they could ever hope to be:
"We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland, and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible."
90 years ago the Irish people voted for the Republic. Now in the face of these 499 European Imperialists we need to once more stand by the Republic by voting no.
Why did De Rossa vote to not respect the results of this democratic referendum? http://www.indymedia.ie/article/86337
