Lisbon Treaty Yes vote Paradox

Sceala Clann T.D. Location: Wicklow

We had a referendum.
I voted No to Lisbon ....everyone that I know voted No to Lisbon ...there has already been a answer to the referendum on the Lisbon treaty .....The answer was No.
Why have our leaders not accepted our democratic wish ...why are they making us vote again.
I am appalled that we are being asked to vote again. If they can do this ...and get away with it ....what is the point of any referendum ...what is the point of democracy.
Our leaders are clearly being ....coerced ...by the big powers inside of the new enlarged EU ....their own actions prove the dangers of this Lisbon treaty. The EU Coercion proves that the Lisbon treaty is for the benefit of the Big nations in the new enlarged EU ....not for the good of Ireland. Ireland must sign or be sidelined ...that is the clear message ...the clear threat.

If the Lisbon treaty is a good treaty
Why did the French and the Dutch ...and we the Irish all Vote No.
Yes politicians claim that the Lisbon treaty protects democracy
Why have our leaders not accepted our democratic wish ...why are they making us vote again.
The Yes Vote campaign
Our main political leaders claim ...that the Lisbon treaty is now much better ....that they have renegotiated a better Lisbon treaty our behalf.
If we hypothetically accept that they have actually done this .....addressed all of our concerns and fears ...and if we ignore the obvious logic that they could not have ...because as we all know ....Ireland is effectively powerless...inside the giant that is the new enlarged EU.
If we hypothetically accept their promises ....then they need to explain the Lisbon Treaty Yes vote ...Paradox
Why did these very same leaders campaign for a Yes vote in the first Lisbon referendum ....on what must have been a inferior Lisbon treaty.
How can we logically trust these very same leaders who told us to vote Yes in June 2008 ...for what they all now proudly acknowledge ..if only by default .....was not a good treaty after all.

Our main political leaders campaigned for a Yes vote in June 2008 ....for a treaty that was not good for Ireland ....they got it wrong ....why should we trust them now.
