Lisbon Treaty: The Irish have a neck in lecturing Europe; Don’t Knows should not vote

Lisbon Treaty: The Irish would have a brass neck in stalling progress in the European Union by rejecting the second referendum next month. Lecturing Europe on issues such as democratic accountability is a luxury, when Ireland's banking system is effectively a ward of the European Central Bank. As for the Don’t Knows who were reported to have mostly voted for a rejection of the treaty in June 2008, my advice is not to risk using ignorance or laziness to add to the self-inflicted economic wounds, at this time of adversity.
