Ireland Should Speak for Us All Tomorrow, Not Vote Narrowly on the Lisbon Constitution

The citizens of the european countries have been silenced, some by outright lies as in the United Kingdom government's reneging on a manifesto commitment to a referendum and, as a commenter on the previous post says, similarly by the government in Portugal; others by no referendum being proffered and no means to obtain one constitutionally, or consitutional means circumvented, as in Italy, or by a false identification of freedom and the West with the European Union, as in Poland and other eastern European countries.

Ireland speaks tomorrow for us all. This brings another responsibility to every Irish voter. Every vote cast is not cast on whether or not to accept the Lisbon Constitution; it is a vote that can open the way to restoring democratic voice, and democratic choice to every muted European.
