    Lisbon 09'

    So if voters come on in June or whenever and vote down this treaty , can the No side be assured that it won't be forced down our throats and that the government will respect our decision ? or are we going to have a re-run of Nice ?

    Probably, but this time the NO side will demand that the Laeken Declaration be fulfilled.

    Make the EU democratically legitimate

    Repatriate competences not needed by the EU

    Make the peoples of the member states, sovereign over unelected bureaucrats.

    Now that would be a start.

    "So if voters come on in June or whenever"

    The vote is confirmed for June 12th

    "and vote down this treaty , can the No side be assured that it won't be forced down our throats and that the government will respect our decision ? or are we going to have a re-run of Nice ?"
    As far as I understand it would be very difficult to have a rerun - With Nice 1 it was possible to show a lot of people voted no or just didnt vote because of neutrality issues therefore rectifying that somewhat allowed a second vote.

    On Lisbon what would you change?
    Make it more market orientated to suit the Libertas agenda or more protectionist to suit the left?
