    I'm tired of No voters saying they don't understand the Treaty or haven't even read the treaty. So I decided to post this:
    http://www.libertas.eu/docs/The_Lisbon_Treaty.pdf
    The reader friendly version of the Lisbon treaty.
    enjoy.

    Reader 'friendly' - cant be a legal text then!

    Also far as I can remember a lot of damage was done for the Yes campaign by politicians advocating Yes but admitting they had not read it.

    This guy is participating in the June movement (highly eurosceptical) and is a member of Libertas. Now I wonder if he has managed to keep objectivity.

    I'm tired of Yes voters, including our own Taoiseach, saying they haven't read the treaty (and therefore are going on other peoples understanding alone).

    Please do something about that.

    Thanks.

    There's nothing at all wrong about going on somebody else's opinion if they are trustworthy and in a position to know what they're talking about.

    Oh and that would surely extend to impartial and without vested interest, right?

    Because surely someone with a vested interest will have a biased opinion on it.

    I'm sure many No voters drew their opinions on what trustworthy and educated friends/family said regardless.

    Trustworthy perhaps, educated? The polls sure don't think so.
