Different government. The one which was in power during Lisbon got absolutely wiped last time out.
Anyway, I had mixed feelings about it at the time. On one hand the Irish government should have respected the decision of its populace and stood up for that decision, even though it disagreed with their policy and what the EU wanted, as that's what they're bloody elected to do. On the other hand so much false information was spread in the first referendum that people though they were voting for issues that were nothing to do with Lisbon, for example a unified EU army was talked up by the no side. The referendum commission got its **** together for the second referendum so people actually knew what they were voting about and no surprise it passed.
I think that the referendum would continue until the Lisbon treaty has not been adopted!
I was not in Ireland, but I think that before the second Irish referendum brainwashed right information.
If the Irish still have not accepted treaty in a referendum, the decision was made to the Irish Parliament.
Slovakia voted in a referendum against joining NATO.
What happened next?
Slovakia joined NATO without a referendum ...
