Re: Will Ireland Reject the EU Reform Treaty? (4.00 / 2)

No unelected foreign bureaucrat is going to tell a proud Irish voter how to vote no matter how clever, sophisticated and solicitous they may be.

Fair enough: send in the European Parliament.

According to the Eurobarometers, the EP is the best known and most trusted of the EU institutions.

We have our own Euro parliamentarians. They tend not to be very influential back home and get very little media airtime. The most vocal and telegenic is probably Sinn Fein's Mary Lou McDonald who will be campaigning against. Sinn Fein were very disappointed with their last election performance. This is their big chance to make it big and they will take full credit for the NO vote as all the other parties will be supporting a yes vote.
