Eurodeputy Cohn Bendit is very angry .

Answer 1

cohn bendit is a fool converted from maoism to green liberal and who might soon turn neo-con.

Don't  take him seriously.

Answer 2

Cohn Bendit dreams his party govern EU...

that's an unrealist dream !

The problem with EU is not that rich countries have or no to pay for poor countries, the problem is that EU will give more money to rich Europeans and make poor people more poor !

And without democracy.

EU is a capitalist USSR !

Even for business men, h**l for workers...

Answer 3

Cohn Bendit is one of many Euro-bullies trying to smear the Irish people who don't want to give away their national  sovereignty to him.

The debate in Ireland has nearly nothing  to being a net contributor and more to do with opposing a common taxation policy - particularly corporation tax- which was one of the reasons that Ireland was successful in past decades at attracting investment .

There is also some concern  about the fact that no other country is being allowed to hold a referendum and that the Lisbon treaty is a rewritten version of the one already rejected by the French and Dutch People.

If you listen to Cohn Bendit you'll never understand the truth
