The idea that Europe should have “its place in the world” has been all talk, no action. The creation of a European president and foreign minister that represents the Union will help get the Union off of its duff. It will get the Union off of its duff without endangering national identities and sovereignty of the Member States. It is one thing to talk about promoting European values, and the like, on the international stage, but it’s quite another to actually do so.
There is going to be a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland. I’ll bet that those that vote “no” either have not read the Treaty or do not understand its ramifications for the rest of the world! I’ll bet that those that vote “no” will be doing so because they “don’t want to see Turkey in the European Union.” I’ll bet that not only will those that vote “no” not only have not read the Lisbon Treaty, they’ll let media outlets tell them their “information” on the Treaty and they will regard themselves as “informed on their no vote.” This is just plain wrong to subject Europe and the Lisbon Treaty – and the whole world – to what is really mob rule in Europe!
