German public join British public in demanding referendum
No, it's not a Michael Jackson song reference.
Four days ahead of a German Constitutional Court ruling on the Lisbon Treaty, it has been revealed that a HUGE 77% of the people of Germany want to have their say on the Constitutional Lisbon Treaty in a referendum.
The results come in a poll of 1010 people conducted by German research firm Psyma, and it was conducted between the 8th and 10th June 2009.
Open Europe Director Lorraine Mullally said of the findings: "The public are crying out to be consulted - it is time to stop pretending that politicians know best, and inject some democracy into EU politics".
Some of the pro-Europe minority in Britain accuse those of us who demand our say of being xenophobes, 'Little England-ers' and so forth and claim that we would have our nation marginalised on the fringes of Europe.
However, the PEOPLE - not the political class - the PEOPLE of Germany clearly stand united WITH the PEOPLE of Britain in saying to the ruling elite:
You haven't consulted us. We want OUR say.
The Dutch had their say. The French had their say. The Irish had their say. All said 'NO'.
The British haven't been consulted. The Germans haven't been consulted. We all want our say.
So what is the masterplan behind the E.U. that makes it's leaders and architects so damned insistent that they're going to plough on with it anyway..? Just what is the big agenda that they're driving towards and making sure the people of each nation do not get a say in?
And that seemingly secret agenda might just be the reason that the PEOPLE of Europe - when they get asked - keep on saying 'no'.
