And that just about sums it up

Unfortunately I cannot go to Dublin on September 9 to attend a debate organized by Open Europe about the Lisbon Treaty. But if there is anybody out there who is wondering why both this blog and EUReferendum hold that organization in low opinion, despite all the research they do, here is the summary of what the event is about. It comes word for word from the invitation:

With just weeks to go before the second Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, Open Europe invites commentators and experts from across the EU to Dublin, to explain why they say 'yes' to a more democratic EU, and 'no' to the Lisbon Treaty.

A more democratic EU? Do tell.
