SCP: Seniors demand cooperation by consent, not domination by dictatorship

The Senior Citizens Party (www.seniorcitizensparty.org.uk) calls upon the European Commission and the European Council of Ministers to abandon the Treaty of Lisbon in accordance with European Law, since it must be ratified by all 27 member states and Ireland has already rejected it. The reason it was rejected was not because the Irish are anti-Europe, but because they saw through the attempted confidence trick of revamping the original user-friendly, easy to understand European Constitution into 400 pages of legalese, which no one other than an experienced lawyer could understand, and giving it a new name in the hope that it would just be rubber-stamped. The arrogance of those who say the Irish rejection does not matter because eighteen other member states have ratified it is almost unbelievable, given that not a single one of those states bothered to consult their people. "The European Union is just like other governments," said Grahame Leon-Smith, Party Leader. "If they fail to listen to the people, they will be rejected. We want a genuinely democratic Europe which achieves cooperation by consent, not domination by dictatorship."
