One of the concerns I, along with alot of others, have with the whole European project, as its now dubbed, is the lack of any real democracy. And no doubt that this was a factor in the vote on Lisbon.

So you can imagine my glee when Mr. Sarkozy  says that we’re going to have to vote again on Lisbon. That’s the way to allay fears that the EU is undemocratic, illustrate that there is actually only one option when we are presented with a treaty.

I mean, why did the Government bother wasting money on the ink used for that “No” box on the ballot papers if No was not really an option! We’re in a recession for God’s sake!

If we are asked to vote again there should be 3 options on the ballot paper.

“Yes”, “No” and “Feck off with yer poxy treaty”!
