Se a Irlanda votar Não

Mark Mardell escreveu hoje no seu Euroblog:
What there would be is a dissection of the corpse. Some major parts of both Lisbon and the constitution would be sadly discarded. Plans to get rid of the veto for justice and home affairs, to have a stronger foreign policy , to have a president of the council and beefed-up high representative for foreign affairs, would probably be junked. Some would no doubt try to sneak back to the dustbin and save them for later use. But an Irish No kills aspirations like these, at least for a while.

But Ireland may still vote Yes: it is on a knife edge and I have changed my mind about the likely result back and forth in the last 24 hours.

Subscrevo. Apesar de considerar que o novo Tratado pecou por pecado de nascimento (os de geração cingem-se ao que vimos com qualquer Tratado), seria uma perda histórica e um retrocesso muito sério na construção europeia. E apesar de questionar, acredito no projecto europeu!
