The rejection of the Lisbon Treaty by the Irish electorate has not only told politicians, in what now appears to be a unified one party state made up of Labour, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, that the Irish people will not tolerate any interference to our Constitution by unknown bureaucrats in the EU. ... read full story / add a comment

In the last few days, Brian Cowen has stated that Ireland's future will be decided by the Lisbon Treaty Referendum. If, therefore, its ratification is so paramount with regard to the future of Ireland, and indeed Europe, then why are we the only nation voting on it? Surely, in any democracy, people are entitled to decide on issues which fundamentally shape their future, right?
