Thanks for that.I'm going to bring a few copies of that when I'm canvassing against Lisbon this weekend.

From that Fine Gael leaflet on Nice:

'Yes would mean real equality between member states. Every country large and small will have exactly the same right to an EU Commissioner for the first time.'

Who reading that would think Nice actually meant losing our automatic right to a Commissioner as is now claimed by Yes supporters?

And they expect people to trust them again?

As I imagine everyone knows Nice was always meant to be temporary. It did give us exactly the same rights to an EU Commissioner as every state and every state was still going to have on equal rights in the orginal Lisbon Treaty and now even if this one is passed.

However our rejected of Lisbon has messed it up a bit, as the long-term status of the Commission in Nice was left vague, as Nice was never meant to be a long-term treaty.

Now that's *exactly* the same as every No to Lisbon argument.
Especially the "If we vote Yes we lose out on...".

Thanks for that.

Were FG telling the truth then or telling the truth now about our permanent seat on the commission?

What power?

Maybe he realised that when Maastrict didn't destory Ireland, that he was wrong and that the EU wasn't so bad after all.
