Previously issues such as public services, like health care and education possibly being put out to private tender and the mercy of the market was on many working class people’s minds and influenced the way they voted last time. This could well happen if Lisbon is passed, big business controlling your health. We have recently seen how these people have made a mess of the economy imagine you or your family’s health placed in the same greedy profit seeking hands! The health service is already in a state with the government planning massive cuts it will get worse. However privatisation will mean the end. Could the government be cutting back on public service expenditure in anticipation of a yes vote on Lisbon? Make sure it doesn’t happen, VOTE NO. Remember if health is something money can buy the rich will live and the poor will die! Also look at the mess these business people have made of the economy in general.
It has now being decided that October 2nd will be the date of the second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.You, the Irish electorate, will be asked to vote for a second time on this Treaty. This treaty has already been rejected by the electorate once in June 2008 but because the vote did not go the way of the Irish government and their puppet masters in Brussels you must vote again. Do NOT be intimidated by lies and deceit from both the Dail and Brussels into voting their way. Vote NO again as this treaty offers the working class nothing, in fact it is fundamentally no different from the first one, short of a couple of very minor changes and promises.In contrast it offers the business classes a considerable amount, not least higher profits at your expense. It has not gone unnoticed that you, the Irish people, have never being consulted on whether you want a re-run of Lisbon, after all you have already rejected the thing once. What do the government not understand about the word NO?, surely they have received a basic education, or have they?
