The Plan B if Lisbon treaty passes

[hibernia_free]

So what about our plan B if the treaty passes? The most obvious idea would be
to form a new political party of the people as (at least 40% of the country
is firmly opposed to this Treaty sellout). It's clear that FF are no longer the
Republican party, nor are FG any kind of real opposition either.

You might call it Libertas! It comes with a ready-made leader and a PR/Marketing structure.
That could certainly house all the reactionary forces of the right.
Would it also be able to embrace the reactionary religious & nationalist elements so prominent in the NO campaign?

"reactionary" sounds exciting! I'm in. Sure beats the alternative.

You are aware that about 40% of the people were opposed to the Nice Treaty as well, aren't you?

On ya go then - Definitely a gap in the market - what are you waiting for? - or are you going to go all Irish on us and wait for somebody else to do it and then start cribbing about them?
