I know I've been 'going on' quite a lot in the last couple of days about the Irish referendum. Now I feel that I was quite mistaken in believing the EU should accept the people's will. I've been persuaded by the arguments of Jean-Claude Juncker, Prime Minister of Luxemburg (which is somewhere near Holland or Belgium, I think), to the effect that the European Project cannot be turned aside by the mere vote of a small country. One has to listen to such a distinguished statesman --widely tipped to become either the EU President or EU Foreign Minister if the Lisbon Treaty is ratified.
