BRUSSELS: European Union leaders struggled to find a "Plan B" yesterday after Irish voters rejected the bloc's reforming Lisbon Treaty. Irish voters rejected the treaty by 53.4 per cent to 46.6pc.
Presidents, prime ministers and foreign ministers across the 27 nation club expressed regret at the vote and said new efforts must be made to get the treaty through after admitting that opponents in Ireland had won, European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso insisted that other countries should continue the ratification of the treaty. But it was Barroso who said last month that there is "no Plan B" if the treaty was defeated.
If you try to put a lot of power in one place it will collapse |

Maybe the power is distributed .... Hence better solutions can be found, even if they take longer as more views are considered ..... 
But agreed, we do not need / want Turkey sticking her nose in too!  |

The funny thing with this kind of referendum is that if people vote "no" they can ask them again and again until they change their minds. If they vote "yes" then nobody will ask them again if they changed their mind!  |

| No audit for what is it? 9 years? It's a huge Brussels gravy train riding on the rails of an annual multi trillion Euro public purse. To be an M.E.P is to live the life of luxury. |

SHAMELESS EU leaders are pretending Ireland’s NO vote never happened.
They will ignore the will of the Irish people to press on with grandiose plans for a Euro empire. |

I agree , with one addition. ""To be an M.P is to live the life of luxury coupled with generosity towards your wife , your son and his boyfriend as was recently exposed , all paid for by the tax payer ! |
