Protests outside Irish embassies over lack of vote for millions of Europeans

Protests were held outside Irish embassies across the EU last weekend congratulating Ireland on holding a referendum that was denied to 487 million Europeans, reports Independent.ie. The event, organised by the European Referendum Campaign (ERC), is joined by other protests being held this week by various organisations cooperating as one European family to stop the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty across the Union.

The ERC signs read: "Congratulations Ireland! You are having the referendum 486 million Europeans have been denied".

I'm off to vote no.
The very fact of Ireland being the only country given the chance to act as a democracy and vote on this issue shows how 'democracy' is envisaged in this brave new world. So will the Irish use their democratic power to give up this democratic power like all the others? Though of course in this modern world, what need have the slaves of the democratic right in this sense when they can exercise it in the so much more entertaining ways of voting for people in inane television programmes to leave rooms, win song contests and the like, and all from the comfort of their own armchairs. We're more democratic than ever before.
