View Full Version : Charlie McCreevy admits today (June 26th), that most EU voters would reject Lisbon
''EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevy says Irish people shouldn't be ashamed about their rejection of the Lisbon Treaty.
Speaking in Dublin this morning, McCreevy admitted that the treaty would have been rejected in most member states if it had been put to a public vote.

Oh Charlie.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.
*bangs head of desk*
Charlie actually said some things that were deliberately helpful to the No campaign in Lisbon I. I wonder what his game is.

I reckon he realised his political life in Ireland ist am Ende.
A fit, maybe.
A fit of pique at BIFFO who isn't going to reappoint him as commissioner.
Although, I wonder if he's thinking of coming back and looking for the top job in Fianna Fail.
He'll have to get elected first, but then there's a handy bye-election comingup in Donegal.
