Nope. Someone else in Ireland might do a better job. The mess we are in is equally the fault of the EU because of the single-interest rate without which the property-bubble would not have reached the astronomic heights it did and consequenty wreck the economy when it burst. If anything, the recession should strengthen the case for a no vote, constituting as it does a warning-sign of how things can go badly wrong for individual, small member states when power is effectivelt handed over to their often larger member states over a crucial area of national sovereignty. Having said that, I do agree that at present, remaining in the euro is the least, worst option. But the answer to Lisbon must be no once more, all things considered. To suggest the Irish can't govern themselves is neo-colonial or an EU form of West Britishness (albeit bending the knee to Europe rather than Britain).
