- It’s a set up. Your natural, lifelong paranoia is justified – the rest of the 27 member states are out to screw us and won’t implement the guarantees they’ve agreed to at the next accession treaty. So lets stick it to them first and their poxy inferior parliamentary democracies that have passed The Lisbon Treaty. Let’s save Europe from its sovereign Governments. What do they know about functioning democracies anyway?
- The doubting Thomas crowd are right, before you know it we’ll be flooded with abortion clinics run by workers on a Euro an hour and facing conscription into a new European army that will force the Dept of Finance at gun point to raise our corporation taxes. Just you wait.
- We can’t have EU directives on consumer rights, worker rights, environmental rights and financial stability. We’d be far better off relying on our own natural guile and cunning just like we did before we joined the EEC. Anyway the Oireachtas trumps Brussels for intellect, wisdom, resources, vision, long term planning and implementation. Just ask at any backbencher.
- Ireland would be far better off on the edge of Europe anyway. We could lead a new slow track EU and join up with UK right wing nationalists to frustrate the work of the world’s largest economic block. They’d eventually pay us off just to get rid of us.
- Sick of all those multi-nationals coming in here as a springboard to Europe, let them leave to other parts and take their jobs with them. We’re far better off relying on our own home-grown wealth creators, like developers. If that doesn’t work we can always rely on the old dodge, mass emigration, less mouths to feed.
- You really do miss the punt, the only currency on the planet called after its banking profession. We could go alone again, just like Iceland. Interest rates would be sky high and the punt would get priced against occasionally but, hey, it would make Ireland really cheap for our much wealthier European neighbours to come visit, restoring the natural balance. After all relative poverty is good for the soul, just ask any dead bishop.
- You’ve ex-US military brass as pals in business and they sure don’t want a more cohesive Europe in case it diminishes NATO. Having launched your proposed counter measures at a US foreign affairs think tank, you’re toying the idea of running a political campaign.
- You’d love to see Caomhin as Taoiseach and Mary Lou as Minister for Finance. Based on the Sinn Fein general election manifesto they might know as much about economics as an aardvark knows about ipods, but, hey, they couldn’t do much worse could they?
- Joe Higgins could do Enterprise Trade and Employment, transforming the world into a socialist nirvana, just like Cuba. In time, the world would come around to our way of thinking, you know self isolation, centralisation, bigger Government, that kind of thing.
- We can have a raft of new national holidays, one for Mao, one for Joe Stalin and eventually for one for Fidel. Christmas Day can even be replaced with a special holiday for Nicolae Ceausescu, shot in error by his own people on December 25th 1989.
