I love it. 3,000,000 had to decide the fate of a Treaty that would effect the whole of Europe. And because we said NO, the Treaty is dead in its current forum. All because we said NO.

We had to vote because our national constitution would have to changed to adopt this new EU Treaty. But we voted NO. And to ratify the treaty all countries in Europe need to say YES.

So I am to assume you listened to Joe Higgins then :P I would've voted no.

Europes only chance to become a superpower is a federal Europe, united politically, economically and social, when the treaties get rejected, we are just slowing our progress, in the current global climate we need a Europe united not a Europe divided
