"The supporters of the Treaty of Lisbon are celebrating not just a victory, but a victory for democracy itself on the pretext of the current ‘yes’ vote in an imposed referendum. However, the actual result is 3-1 in favour of the Treaty’s opponents. Let us not forget that the people in both France and the Netherlands said ‘no’ to the Constitutional Treaty containing completely identical provisions. The creative, but cynical idea was then devised that, if the people of Europe do not accept this constitution, let us call it the Reform Treaty and political leaders will vote for it in the various parliaments. Unfortunately, the Hungarian Parliament was the first to do this.
I recognise that many people think that the Treaty of Lisbon is the path to happiness for Europe’s peoples, but this still does not give them any legal basis at all to say that this is what Europe’s peoples wanted."@en1
