EU wants to marginalize Ireland

 

Before the referendum, Ireland very much mattered. Now that they’ve said ‘no’ to the European Union, the other countries that make up the beleaguered organization are looking to just….make Ireland irrelevant.

Relations with the EU are set to worsen as Germany and France appear to be moving to isolate Ireland…Refusing to take the Irish no for an answer, the Franco-German game plan, to be refined at a crucial EU summit in Brussels on Friday, is to get the other 26 EU states to ratify the treaty as soon as possible, quarantine the Irish, then come up with some legal manoeuvre enabling the treaty to go ahead.

Nice way to prove to the world how fair and democratic you are. If you don’t like the outcome of the game, change the rules.
