The idea of the emergency summit is being pushed forcefully by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, I am told. In his view, if the Irish vote No, an emergency summit is indispensable. And if the Irish vote Yes, it would be unforgivable for EU leaders to wait until a scheduled summit at the end of October before meeting to discuss the swift ratification of Lisbon.
What pisses off FLG, and he's not even fucking European, is the EU fuckers' insistence on moving forward without democratic support. Monarchies, empires, etc had various means of deriving authority, credibility, and legitimacy. Modern, democratic states base their legitimacy on, surprise, surprise, democracy.
Whenever the EU is put to a vote it's rejected. Yet, leaders start talking about how to move forward regardless. Vote No? Emergency summit. Vote Yes? Emergency summit. For fuck's sake, the Lisbon Treaty itself is the European Constitution repackaged to limit the number of referendums and to make the name more palatable to the ones that will hold them.
FLG knows he's gone over this before, but the arrogance of the Europhiles riles him. It's astonishingly and absurdly appalling.

Kinda like health care in the US.
The Solution
Bertolt Brecht
After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
