ah ah, in France, we kinda had the same problem with the eu 'constitution'. the referendum result was 'no'. So, the name was changed, and it was voted by the parliament. Democracy at its finest. never bothered to vote since.
After seeing the way in which Germany bullied Ireland into keeping the insane bank bailout which has crippled Ireland's sovereign balance sheet, I've become doubtful about some elements of EU membership.

If you no longer believe that your system is democratic, then you should not legitimize it by playing along with it.
