    It is like eating your cake then voting afterwards whether or not you should eat it.

    There is the advantage though, since the Lisbon Treaty is not a Constitution, etc, etc, but can help unite people in Europe, everyone who was worried about Europe can all unite together to ensure a good Europe comes out of everything. Making changes from within the system.
