If, as it appears from very early indications, that the Lisbon Treaty is defeated, the natural knee jery reaction by Cowen and the rest of the FF cabinet (O Cuiv aside), with cheerleading from Fine Gael, is to have a second go to get it right.

By that reasoning they'll keep putting it until they get the answer they want. That's not democracy. So let's not play their stupid game anymore. Níl means níl.
