Shock, horror!

Apparently, many people in countries that are member states of the EU would like to have had the chance to vote on the Lisbon Treaty. Or so says AP in a surprisingly well informed article. Not only that but many of them would have voted no, as would have their disenfranchised compatriots; not only that but they are resentful of not being asked and of the way a no vote is simply swept out of the way. Well, well, who would have thought?
