    Lisbon now in force: time to close this forum?

    Now that the changes to the EU treaties brought about by the Treaty of Lisbon are in force, is there any point in a separate Lisbon Treaty forum?

    But where will all the threads on closing the forum go? They sustained the PD forum for months, you know....

    It might be a good reference point to measure the development of the EU from.

    I think the Yes side people will want to keep it open as they will all want to pile on here in October 2010, 2011, 2012 etc etc to gloat showing us all the jobs and investment that we voted Yes to with Lisbon and all the manufacturing and service industry jobs that did not migrate East because we finally decided to stay at the 'heart of Europe'!

    I think Marmurr is right - there's no need for a Lisbon Forum anymore.
    "Elite - a small superior group; esp one that has a power out of proportion to its size." (Oxford English Dictionary)

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    ...and for the No side to announce the start of conscription, abortion, abolition of trial by jury, return of the death penalty...
    Never let the best be the enemy of the good.

    I'd leave this section open, no point in closing it, unless people have something to hide? Maybe some people have realized a no vote would have been better served, closing this would only serve a case to cover tracks.
