they expect us to forget the lies they told this time, so that they can tell us new ones in 2004

Even though we lost the referendum, we should hold the politicians to all the promises that they made on such issues as more Jobs, and hammer them with it during the 2004 referendum. Another promise that they were forced to make, but which may cause them problems in the near future when they will have to break it is their ‘guarantee’ that our Neutrality is strengthened in the constitution, (unless of course Ff gets FG and their Labour flunkies to agree to sneak a vote through the Dail). We should push for Neutrality to be properly enshrined in the constitution. We should record the statements that people like ‘honest’ Harney are making about never joining Nato or a Federal EU and use these statements against them otherwise we will be again accused of being ‘scaremongers ‘ungenerous’ and we will need things to throw back at them also. Somehow amazingly the corruption issue was not used to its full potential this time, or maybe the Irish just like voting the way crooks tell them. No doubt the people will get a shock in a couple of years when they will be told that they really voted for something nasty like privatisations in the Nice Treaty.
