Ireland set to pass EU Treaty

While most Americans don’t keep an eye on events across the pond, Ireland is getting ready for a 2nd referendum to pass the Lisbon Treaty.

The Lisbon Treaty, among other things, would create a President of the European Union, which some argue the EU is the “Revived Roman Empire” of Revelation.

Ireland’s ratification is crucial, because the treaty must be ratified by all member nations to go into effect. Ireland is the only member of the European Union to reject the “Treaty of Lisbon” in their June 2008 referendum. Every other nation has ratified it or is in the process of ratifying it, and so Ireland will try again October 2nd.

Political forecasting site InTrade estimates this as very likely to pass.

The Intrade market shows a strong chance of the Treaty being passed on this second attempt. There is currently an 80.0% probability of acceptance by Irish voters.

Opposition to the Lisbon Treaty will not be nearly as active as they were in 2008 according to Reuters.

Ireland is one of only a few European States to allow their citizens to vote on this issue - interestingly, ONLY Belgium's electorate actually voted "yes" - everyone else who was given a chance to vote, voted a resounding "NO!"

The EU then decided that it would be a bad idea to allow the UK and other Euro-Sceptic populations a chance to vote!

Thankfully, due to a loopehole in Ireland's constitution, such a piece of legislation MUST be passed by a referendum ... the Irish have already said "No!" ... but the Euro-Commissars didn't like that result - so the Irish will have to vote again (and again, and again) until they vote 'properly'!

"Diversity" is alive and well in Socialist states - as long as that 'diversity' does not diverge from the plans of the Marxist Central Planning Committee of the European Union of Soviet Socialist States!
