Implications of a 'No' Vote on Lisbon

But the thing is the No side are not asking to have stuff taken out of the treaty, they're asking to have the guarantees put in. It's dirty tactics from the No campaigners because it's physically impossible to remove the problematic issues because they are simply not in the treaty. It's completely unreasonable to demand that the guarantees be put in to the treaty and that the ratification start over again.
I think (hope) that his issue here was addressed by my post that he seemed to accept. Just to reiterate, when a group of lying extremists convince you that there's a load of stuff in the treaty that actually isn't there, there's no way you can change the treaty to address those issues. The only thing you can do is guarantee the people that those things aren't in the treaty, make the guarantees legally binding and hope that the groups don't try to convince the people that the guarantees aren't really binding. Didn't work unfortunately
