A way forward for the EU

FiachraYeah

OK, I've come up with a solution to the government's and the EU's difficulties. It should put the Lisbon Treaty back on the rails:

1. Meet with the French government and ask them to declare war on Ireland. It shouldn't be too hard as Sarkozy already hates our guts.

2. Invoke Article 28.3.3 of the Constitution

Nothing in this Constitution other than Article 15.5.2°
shall be invoked to invalidate any law enacted by the
Oireachtas which is expressed to be for the purpose of
securing the public safety and the preservation of the
State in time of war or armed rebellion, or to nullify any
act done or purporting to be done in time of war or
armed rebellion in pursuance of any such law.

to pass a law allowing the government to amend the Constitution without a referendum.

3. Amend the Constitution to ratify the Lisbon Treaty.


Discuss.

Im sure once the government invited the British in from Northern Ireland, which they would rightly do, it would become quite serious. But desperate times require desperate measures I suppose.
