    Default C'mon Ireland, you know you want to...

    and get the vote right this time.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Oh, no. They haven't proposed another one, have they?

    They'll keep proposing it until Ireland accepts. That's the point.

    Of course, I just thought they'd actually done it again.

    The way Biffo is making screw up after screw up at the moment and considering his party/coilition is in tatters reeling from one disaster to another he would be a complete idiot to try and force a second vote .
    So expect a second vote very shortly
    So considering a possible timetable , how is he going to manage to sell the treaty once Klaus takes the chair as it will be very very hard to sell the idea when the person in the chair is opposed to the treaty .
    Anyway surely we are due another vote on abortion again before we go to another vote on Lisbon .

    Default Irish back to vote.

    I'm a bit surprised no one opened a thread about the irish gov's decision to make people vote again for (or against) the EU constitutionnal treaty.

    To my eyes it's a shame to try to push laws down the throat of the population and definitely hope our fellow hibernians will tell their technocrats to p*** off.

    Just my two cents....
