these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon

category national | eu | opinion/analysis author Thursday June 12, 2008 13:31author by old fashioned Green Report this post to the editors

Reason no 1 is the watering down of EU chemicals Legislation (REACH)

these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon and why we refused to campaign for a yes vote.
Reason no 1: REACH
Reason no 2: Nuclear power
Reason no 3: EU Corruption
Reason no 4: EU Police state.

these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon and why some of us campaigned for a NO vote.

Reason no 1: is the gutting of the EU's own REACH chemical legislation by vested interests (big corporations). This was covered in an indymedia article at the time but ignored by the NO campaigns.
here is a link to the original indymedia story: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/69010 also: http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/press_releases/chemicals_....html

Reason no 2: Nuclear power. This is of course close to many green hearts. As long standing envirnmental activist and Green Party councillor Bronwen Maher said that on the issue of nuclear power and the lisbon Treaty in response to the protocol inserted in Lisbon on the Euratom Treaty, "It does mean that we will have to support further expansion of nuclear power plants and to accept nuclear power through the national grid." Enough said on that.

Reason no 3: EU corruption. There has been a news blackout on this by the Irish mainstream media but brave and courageous 'whistleblowers' have been exposing this for years now. some of them have been sacked and persecuted for their honesty. I remmember indymedia covering corruption in the EU commission during the Nice referendum in relation to the entire EU commission having to resign over the fraud and corruption that is rampant is Brussells.

Reason no 4: EU Police state. 9/11 gave the EU elite the pretext they always wanted and needed to rush through repressive legislation and powers which they will need to keep their citizens in line as the EU becomes too big and unwieldy into the future. Some EU Cops forces are so heavy handed with anti nuclear and anti globalisation protestors that they make the Gardai look like born again pacifists. www.statewatch.org is a good source for this information.
