Everyone.
Listening to Lucinda Creighton this morning still calling for a yes vote despite a majority of FG decided voters voting no. Why is it that 100% of FG/Lab politiicians support yes when in particular Labour voters dont buy it. Why are they so out of touch?
Don't want to be a spoilsport but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmn theres a lot of treaty threads being opened up this morningOriginally Posted by eurosceptic
Veni, vidi, arrivederci
The reason is simple. Their members voted in favour of supporting the treaty as party policy. The vast majority of their voters are not members of the party
dont know why labour are supporting it, seeing as so many of them are more or less stickies....

They beat the drum for representative democracy.The reason is simple. Their members voted in favour of supporting the treaty as party policy. The vast majority of their voters are not members of the party
Most of us think that means they represent the voters.
The lads and lassies understand it a bit differently.
More like this - it is a refined form of democracy where decisions are made by representatives, and imposed on the voters.
The major parties are not even representing their own members never mind the citizens of the state. Does any Yes party have more than 50 percent of its members with it on Lisbon?
The one exception on the Yes side is the Green Party which is actually didthe correct thing in abiding by its own rules on this.

So politicians should tack the winds of public opinion, rather than lead the debate?
Sounds like a very healthy version of democracy....
