Mark Wadsworth: One reason to hate the Irish

Saturday 3 October 2009

Interrupting today's series, I note that Ireland appears to have voted "Yes" to the Lisbon Treaty.

Bugger.

Simon Fawthrop said...: As Guido says, that one all.

Perhaps they can have a penalty shoot out or play paper, rock, scissors?; 3 October 2009 at 16:33
Dick Puddlecote said...: This, I really can't understand. Even if I were wild about the EU, the fact that the vote wasn't respected first time round would madden me to vote the opposite way.

Perhaps stubbornness and self-respect aren't character traits amongst the majority of Irish anymore.; 3 October 2009 at 18:56
Dear Prime Minister said...: Look at their economy. Maybe survival was more important.

Given a bad run on the pound maybe the majority of Brits would vote for acceptance of the Euro if it would save their business or job.

It's now all about the here and now and can I personally weather the storm.; 3 October 2009 at 19:11
