EU Commissioner admits 95% of states would have voted No to Lisbon Treaty.

EU Internal Markets Commissioner Charlie McCreevy has admitted that 95% of EU states would have voted No if they held a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. He said: "When Irish people rejected the Lisbon Treaty a year ago, the initial reaction ranged from shock to horror to temper to vexation. That would be the view of a lot of the people who live in the Brussels beltway. On the other hand, all of the leaders know quite well that if the similar question was put to their electorate by a referendum the answer in 95 per cent of the countries would probably have been No as well."

He also appeared to suggest that he still has not read the Lisbon Treaty. Asked if he had read it since admitting during the last campaign that he had not, he replied, "I am going to stay up every night during every day of the summer reading chapters. I will put questions to every journalist I meet asking them what different subsections mean. A lot of that is political nonsense."

Ya don't say, Chuck!
