Another plea from an MEP for an Irish NO

Tobias Pflüger MEP, details from here, made an interesting speech in Dublin recently. It may be read from this link. He concluded as follows: Additionally, the Reform Treaty will change the voting counts in the most important EU body, the Council of the Heads of State and Government. When the treaty is ratified, Germany will nearly double its share of vote in the Council from 8,4% to 16,73% (the other winners will be France, Great Britain and Italy) while all other states will significantly loose influence. CONCLUSION Finally, the Treaty unmistakably states, that European law takes priority over national law. Declaration 17 says that "the Treaties and the law adopted by the Union on the basis of the Treaties have primacy over the law of Member States." So, whether they like it nor not, when ratified, all Member States are obliged to adhere to the militaristic program laid out by the Treaty of Lisbon. Therefore, I cannot overemphasize how important the referendum on the 12th of June is. Not only for Ireland and the future of its neutrality. But also for the whole continent and the prospects for a peaceful and democratic European Union. So, I hope that the population of Ireland will reject this treaty!
