Today the counting of votes towards the Lisbon Treaty revealed that it's a No here in Ireland. After everything which Europe has done for Ireland these past 15 years.. It's not a vote for the little guy - Europe has been created and remains a big organisation regardless - this was about simplifying rules, making it easier for Europe to deal with the rest of the world.
This tiny nation in Europe, less than 1% of the population of Europe, holds up a process which must cost fortunes. Gawd. What can possibly be achieved if this one state holds up the passage of the final attempt to get a new constitution, years in the negotiation? Does anyone actually want to move on? Europe's got troubles enough.
Some other people's reactions here.
And tomorrow there won't be a 'no' voter to be found, they're that contrary in their politics here..
