Why I
will be voting "NO" to the Lisbon Treatyby Etain Wed Jul 15, 2009

The
"Separation of Powers"
safeguard against tyranny only works if it is put into
practice, and then only for the duration of the period that it
remains in use.
If, among the governments of the world
who have it built into their constitutions in
a major
way (which includes the
Republic of Ireland), the
"Separation of Powers" principle gets cast to one side for any
reason, such as
rampant corruption in the case of
ancient Rome for example, then it is simply not there to
provide any protection (by definition), and descent into
tyranny and lawlessness -- often fraudulently and
cunningly disguised verbally as
"democracy and the rule of
law" by the tyrants involved -- is the usual
result.
In the case of the
European Union
structure, and as I have stated earlier, the
"Separation of
Powers" mechanism appears to me to be
virtually
absent
from the basic structure (
by design); and, if it
is not part of the basic structure in the first place (to any
significant extent), then how can it ever sensibly be expected
to prevent tyranny in the European Union?
"No two
Western European armies have clashed with each other in living
memory."
That's true since
World War 2 perhaps
(which is well within living memory
incidentally).
However, that does not mean that some or
all of those
"standing armies" who are largely idle at
the present time are not
itching for a really good
fight, or, that they won't
join forces (with the help of the Lisbon
Treaty) to get involved in
some huge
combined military conflict "down the road":
such as, for example,
an all-out Christian versus Muslim
military confrontation for instance; which, with due
regard for the fact that
Pakistan (a Muslim state) is
known to have
nuclear weapons, could conceivably leave
billions dead -- were such a war ever to get started
(as some people perhaps might love to see happen). This will
be my
main reason for voting
"NO" to
Round 2 of the Lisbon Treaty Referendum,
and to Round 3, Round 4, ..., Round 24, ..., -- or whatever
number of reiterations we have to
endure.
