The Irish Republic votes down the Lisbon Treaty

Article 28(3) of the Lisbon Treaty:

Member States shall undertake progressively to improve their military capabilities.

More money for warfare means less for health care, and ignoring the usual loony right nationalisms present in any such campaign (historically the John Birch Society vs, modernly the Bush Regime vs, the UN), the progressive left and working class voted overwhelmingly "No".

See those four squares in our logo? We call it the cursor, and like an old-school command prompt, it means we're awaiting input. current.tv

God bless the land of Erin (peace in Irish). Of course, their constitution -- unlike ours -- reserves the right of referendum when facing corporate-backed treaties like NAFTA or NATO.
