Another Fiscal Compact Treaty released.

Ratify quick or lose bailout.

Treaty draft would leave Ireland out in the cold | Irish Examiner

NEGOTIATIONS on the new fiscal treaty makes one wonder if Germany has a death wish for the euro, or at least for some of the eurozone countries.

It has just planted a thinly disguised bomb in the latest draft by insisting that if a country fails to ratify the new treaty by a specific date, that country would not receive money from the new bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism.

I would say they have it in for some countries. That bit does not look good for Ireland.

Hmm. I thought that leaving the bailout was the best thing evar, according to most of our eurosceptics? So this is great news, surely - vote No to an EU treaty and simultaneously reject the bailout...win-win!
