Barroso should quit!
Quote:
"The European Commission believes the remaining ratifications should continue to take their course... The treaty is not dead. I believe the treaty is alive. "
- Jose Manuel Barroso, EC President
When Ireland voted against the Lisbon Treaty/EU Constitution on the 12th June, this was the third major public defeat for José Manuel Barroso's vision of the EU.
First the French, then the Dutch and now the Irish have all said 'no' to more EU integration. The only reason that more of the electorate across the EU haven't said no is because they have been denied a vote.
So did President Barroso come up with a new vision that the people of Europe could accept? No, he said that the ratification process must continue.
Our European Union President has no public mandate in the first place, and has failed not once, not twice, but three times to gain support from the European public for his plans for an EU superstate. It is time for him to resign.
