Democracy, but not as we know it.

Ireland will be thrown out of the EU if it votes 'No' to the Lisbon Treaty again, according to EU fanboy Graham Watson. Not satisfied with ignoring the first vote, and forcing the Irish to vote again, Watson is now using fear tactics to bully Irish voters into supporting the reanimated corpse of the EU Constitution.

Talking to the ever neutral Irish Times, Watson stated:

“It is very difficult to see any country being able to stay in if they have had two Nos from the people”

But not content with that threat alone, Watson went on to add:

"It would be very difficult to get large companies to invest in a country that looked as if it might be leaving the EU. I think it would have a social impact as well and, of course, it would call into question the future of the EU agency that is based in Ireland,” 

In other words, the Irish will be forced to vote once more because they voted the wrong way, but with the additional threat of being booted out if they dare to defy their new masters again. They also will lose their EU funding, lose international business investment and it will have a 'social impact' whatever that means. It's probably Liberal Democrat code for total panic in the tea rooms.

The more Watson opens his mouth the more he exposes the sham that is 'democracy' in the EU. He and the other Brussels elites simply don't care whether the Irish (or the French, or the Dutch,  or the British) want an anti-democratic superstate for Europe or not. We are going to get it regardless, and if the Irish get in the way they will just be ignored and kicked out. 

The veneer of democracy that the EU may have had before is rapidly peeling off, leaving a nasty stain.  

It's not Ireland that needs booting out of the EU, it people like Graham Watson.

It's time for some genuine democracy, and some genuine democrats. It's time for Libertas.

A special thanks goes out to my reader for flagging this one up.
