On Friday the second of October, 752,451 Irish citizens ratified the Treaty of Lisbon for 500 million European citizens. The Treaty of Lisbon is the latest pact in the seemingly unstoppable march of further centralization of power amongst the 27 member states of the European Union.

The Treaty of Lisbon is an outgrowth of a failed document called the EU Constitution, which essentially attempted to transform the European Union into a legal state. However, this constitution was defeated in referendums held by both the French and the Dutch electorates in 2005.
