32CSM Galway Vote NO to Lisbon

1. British Parliamentary and European Parliamentary activity in Ireland is not democratically accountable to the Irish people.

2. The Lisbon Referendum is being put to a section of the Irish people and is not a valid expression of Irish self determination. Ireland is a 32 County Sovereign Nation whose sovereignty is violated by a foreign power.

3. The rights supposedly 'defended' by Lisbon excludes the Irish people's right to self determination.

4. Lisbon seeks a common Foreign and Defence policy amongst EU members which will negate the British Governments spurious stance of 'having not selfish, strategic or economic reasons' to remain in Ireland.

5. Common EU positions in Defence, Economics and Taxation will inevitable mean control by the larger Military and Economic Members of the EU. Neutrality will be made redundant.

6. The terms of the Lisbon Treaty have already been democratically rejected.
