This time Irish voters did as they were told. Sigh. Background here.
This is utterly shameful. An entire continent has given up their sovereignty, and in only one country did the public even get a chance to vote on it. That allowed the rest of Europe to put enormous pressure on Ireland as the sole holdout, threatening them with isolation if they dared obstruct integration again. Suffering greatly from the recession, the Irish public decided they didn’t dare.
