Piling on the pressure

As if bullying Ireland into reversing its democratically stated position on the Lisbon Treaty wasn't enough, out of touch MEPs have now upped the pressure on the Irish government to hurry the whole process up - entirely for their own benefit, of course.

According to European Report, the European Parliament's Constitutional Affairs Committee has adopted a resolution stating "the need for member states to ratify the text as soon as possible". It insists that "all efforts be undertaken to ensure the treaty's entry into force before the European elections of June 2009".

The motion will be voted on by the plenary on 3 December, just in time for the EU summit on 11 and 12, when Irish PM Brian Cowen is due to present his "solution" to the Irish no vote.
