    Idiots Guide To The Lisbon Treaty

    Hi all,

    I'm mostly a music blogger but have been wanting to post an idiots guide to the lisbon treaty for some time.

    my effort is here:

    http://egoeccentric.blogspot.com/2008/0 ... isbon.html

    would love to hear any feedback, or suggestions from those more in the know.

    thanks!

    rob

    That's actually pretty good, and a fair amount of effort has obviously gone into it. Some people will be along in a bit to tell you just how wrong they think you are.
    Never let the best be the enemy of the good.

    Welcome, we certainly have enough Idiots so you could get some of the passing trade.

    I am, sadly, off to bed so I will read it in the morning.
    A poster of some consequence...

    Thanks folks, I am anticipating some sort of naysaying. That can only be beneficial though... (he says optimistically)

    Hi there

    Have to say that is very disappointing!

    Its all in simple easy to understand english and elaborated in a calm manner.

    Wheres the wild accusations and frenetic screaming about the end of the world as we know it, the conspiracy theories, apocalypic visions, the underlining of the same wild arguement over and over again.

    We dont need your type around here - we have a reputation to live up to and standards to uphold here!

    Ok to keep you happy Edo
    In regard to Point 2 on this Idiots Guide

    "2. The EU will be made into a solid legal entity.
    This seems to be an economic provision more than anything. The EU will be more effective on the World stage if it's recognised as a legal entity in itself, ie- it will be able to perform better in World markets."

    We could argue though that the ECB has steered us well, particularly in the face of all this sub-prime panic.

    That said, i'm not an economist, so I'm just going on what i read in the papers.

    It's really good, well done.
    To live honestly, to hurt no one, to give every one his due.

    Fair play. Good stuff. Maybe you should email it to the main political parties?
