Lisbon Treaty
The European Union needs to deepen integration, even it this means creating a core of countries which are ready to speed up the process of further political and not just economic integration. If Ireland votes "No", which would be the Irish people's will, it should be respected, but it would also be a signal that Ireland is not interested in being part of the EU, and it should leave it. Three million Irish voters should not stop a process which other countries are willing to continue. The EU is the answer for Europe to compete in an increasingly globalised world, but mainly to compete with the new superpowers such as China, India, and of course the U.S.
