For saying no to Brussels.

Wonder why they wont ask us? Maybe they are worried about the answer they'd get?

[Predictable Bob]

Too true - not so much no as

On of the main deciding factors over here was the bullying tactics that where going on. Europe even threatened to continue with the new europe without us if necessary.

some of the fall out in the irish press
-------------------------------------------------------

The reaction from the EU's leading politicians was restrained. The German government promised yesterday to give Mr Cowen time to reflect, but senior sources warned that it saw little alternative to a second referendum.

"We would have wished for another solution but as good Europeans we have to take the situation as it is," said German chancellor Angela Merkel after a conversation with the Taoiseach yesterday.

"Ratification will continue and either Ireland votes again or we try to come up with a new text, something on which 27 countries will simply not be able to agree," said a senior government source.

In a joint statement last night, Dr Merkel and French president Nicolas Sarkozy said: "With all due respect, we take note of the democratic decision of the Irish citizens, even if we regret it."

Sources close to Mr Sarkozy said there were only two solutions: for the Irish to vote again, or for an as yet undefined legal mechanism to bind Ireland to EU institutions if Ireland does not ratify the treaty.

While Dr Merkel was conciliatory, her coalition partners, the Social Democrats (SPD), were more blunt. The party's foreign minister, Frank Walter Steinmeier, said the result was a "severe setback" while a party colleague called it a "catastrophe".

"With all respect for the Irish vote, we cannot allow the huge majority of Europe to be duped by a minority of a minority of a minority," said Axel Schäfer, SPD leader in the Bundestag committee on EU affairs.

"We are incredibly disappointed. We think it is a real cheek that the country that has benefited most from the EU should do this. There is no other Europe than this treaty."

Italian President Giorgio Napolitano was equally critical, calling for states obstructing integration to be left out of the EU. "Now is the time for a courageous choice by those who want coherent progress in building Europe, leaving out those who despite solemn, signed pledges threaten to block it," he said in a statement.

The Croatian president, Stipe Mesic, expressed disappointment in Ireland. "Now that they have used the accession and structural funds, when they have developed enormously, I'm a little surprised that the solidarity is at an end," said Mr Mesic.
