Another Europe is Possible with No! 2 Lisbon result

category national | eu | press release author Friday June 13, 2008 19:05author by No! 2 Lisbonauthor email osfnational at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

It has indeed been a Friday the 13th the yes campaigners would rather forget. A resounding No! 2 Lisbon was the result, with a comfortable 110,000 votes ahead and a margin of 53.4% to 46.6%.

A considerable achievement considering the profile of those calling on support for the Lisbon Treaty. Sinn Féin was the only major party to call for a No! vote.

Sinn Féin and their youth wing Ógra Shinn Féin have continuously said that a better deal could be negotiated for Ireland in Europe, and as a result have campaigned and canvassed for a no vote.

Speaking on the result, National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin Barry McColgan said,

“We would like to commend all the progressive groups and people who have played their part in this excellent result, especially those who came out to cast their vote. The electorate in the 26 Counties have stood up for Ireland, and Europe, they have voted in the best interests of the almost 500 million European citizens’ denied a vote, including the 1.8 million in the North of Ireland.”

“People have voted for a social Europe, for a Europe that protects worker’s rights, promotes public services and respects the sovereignty and neutrality of nations.”

“Another Europe is possible, the people who came out across the 26 counties to vote No! have made that a reality. It is now up to the Dublin government to negotiate and demand a better deal for Ireland and Europe.”

“And it is also imperative that all the progressive organisations that ensured a resounding No! vote, continue to work together, campaign, and organise for the type of Europe they envisage, a ‘free federation of free peoples.’”

hope you're right to be celebrating....if this result makes the eu more democratic and helps to defend the rights of all the people of europe and beyond then I will be delighted and I will admit I made a bad mistake voting yes.i have a terrible fear that many people on the left have helped to secure a nationialistic and eurosceptic victory.I hope i'm wrong............

No to renegociation. lets shut the place down if the elites try to over ride the result. cowan talked today about respecting the result given by the great unwashed. I dont think a 'social' eu is on offer just more of the same old bosses europe as Joe Higgins rightly calls it!
