Ireland has said it will vote again on the Lisbon Treaty and this time it will give Brussels the answer it wants.

Eurocrats in Brussels want Europe to be more centralized and unified, but their attempt at passing a European Constitution was met with “no” votes in France and the Netherlands. After changing the name of the constitution to the Lisbon Treaty, Eurocrats avoided referenda in almost all EU countries. The only country to hold a referendum, Ireland, voted no. But the undemocratic folk in Brussels are asking the Irish people to vote again.

Last Thursday night, Eurocrats agreed on some concessions to Ireland in exchange for the Irish agreeing to hold another referendum. The Daily Mail reported December 12,

Europe’s leaders have agreed on “assurances” designed to persuade Irish voters to reverse their rejection of the EU constitution.”Lisbon is adopted,” one EU diplomat said today. …They hope the Irish will deliver the “right” result when they vote again.It means the re-jigged blueprint for a “United States of Europe”—now renamed the Lisbon Treaty—could be in force by the beginning of 2010, despite being rejected by voters three times.And Britain will be fully signed up to it without the referendum Labor promised.According to draft conclusions for the two-day meeting leaked last night, Dublin “is committed to seeking ratification” of the treaty by the end of October 2009.

In yesterday’s Sunday Times, in an article titled “Betrayal All Around From the Guardians of Democracy,” Minette Marrin called out these politicians for their bald-faced authoritarianism and deceit. Ireland’s Brian Cowen has assured the Eurocrats that he will find a way to get the Irish to say yes this time around. His European affairs minister said, “From a constitutional point of view, there’s no other choice than a second referendum.” Marrin wrote,

What can he mean? The truth is the precise opposite. Such deliberate untruth, backing Mr. Cowen’s promise to ignore his people’s vote, gives new vigor to the phrase barefaced effrontery. Against such willful, shameless betrayal of the democratic process it is useless to protest; democracy is being undermined by democratically elected governments that don’t understand a constitutional no and smile benignly, or self-importantly, at our helpless rage.

Marrin went on to blast the European Commission’s Jose Manuel Barroso for his duplicity, after he asked on bbc, “Who are we to stop the Irish having a second referendum?” Marrin responded:

European leaders, far from stopping a second referendum in Ireland, have put huge pressure on its prime minister to have one or do something—anything—to deliver up an Irish yes.Barroso must have known this; his question was shamefully misleading. Yet he actually said after last week’s Brussels summit meeting that “Europe has passed its credibility test.” The truth, once again, is the opposite. With its demand for an Irish yes, the EU has passed another incredibility test ….Our own Gordon Brown, and Tony Blair before him, specializes in shameless, undemocratic effrontery, not least about the EU. Everyone knows Labor promised at the 2005 general election to hold a referendum on the proposed EU constitution. Everyone knows Blair and Brown broke that promise. Brown then sneakily signed the Lisbon Treaty, knowing full well that most British voters would have said no. But Brown wasn’t having no. He wasn’t having democracy.

Marrin concluded her article,

The EU is all too often indifferent to procedure, indifferent to the shameful fact that the auditors have not signed its accounts for years. In ignoring, jointly, the democratic procedures of other countries, it suborns individual Europhile leaders into an equal indifference. Procedure matters: It is there to protect us from, among other things, the barefaced effrontery of totalitarianism.

The true nature of the European project is becoming plainer and plainer. The EU’s “democracy” is the kind that does not take no for an answer.
