In a real democracy, would you have voted YES or NO to the new EU Constitution?

Question

I am talking about the Lisbon Tready.

Answer 1

Good answer M.K. and just want to add, that money often greases the wheels in politics and turns the altruistic phrase "All for one and one for all" into "One for all and All for oneself."

I wish we could vote NO, but the sound of money was louder.

Answer 2

the attitudes of EU is the whole union of 27 members to one country. this constitution is the first step for this. and all this efforts are to earn the big industries more and more and more money.. it is really sad people dont decide for their country. in democracy no just the people can tell their opinion but the goverments must adopt the opinion of the majority. this contitution is a very important issue i think that alla european union citizens must voted no or yes.. but this is a disaster for their economical plans because the only thing that they want to succeed is the idustrie;s profit. it is really sad......

Answer 3

A definite NO. The EU constitution is designed to help big corporations and industries increase their profits. I don't want to see people work even 65 hours a week as the EU hotshots suggested. The Irish have won my respect for their big fat no and now the EU is looking for a formula to bypass their decision.

Do we really want to become like USA, where the President is just a pawn? I hope that Europe won't do the next step  

to cancel a Democratic decision.

Answer 4

I haven't read the constitution but I was going to vote No because my life changed to the worst since we enter the E.E. and because I don't want Europe to become USA without the sense of nationality, the army and one foreign policy.

Answer 5

I'm with no because of many reasons but most of all, at this moment I am with no because of the new laws that will put an end to the 8 hours a day and 5 days a week work.

Answer 6

I've read only a summary and I think Irish people have made us a favor (or postponed the inevitable).  As I understood there will be a paneuropean government and to me it means getting deeper into the sh.....   My life was much much better before. Everyone I know has less money.  We became poorer  from the day we entered the EU monetary system. So,  I see no reason for Irish people to  vote for this treaty when their economy is flourishing........   I wonder what will happen to the Bulgarian people. Do they know what is ahead of them (I am saying about Bulgarians as I have friends from there)

Answer 7

I really like your name and avatar. I definitely agree.

Answer 8

NO. It is an effort of the capitalists, who rule indirectly the EU, to exploit the people of Europe. Thank God, Ireland voted against the Treaty and I hope that the European leaders will respect their vote.

I've recently read the main changes, that the Treaty supports, who aim at an EU transformating into a state (at least gradually),ruled by some people in Brussels, who ignore the real problems of the people. In my opinion the EU should change its orientation and set as its goal the amelioration of the life-circumstances of the people, and not the increasement of capitalists' gains.
