The night of the referendum, as the results came in, my old comrade was both upbeat and realistic. “It’s a great victory,” he said, “but you realise they’ll never let it happen.”
In 1992, the Danes voted against Maastricht; their government secured opt-outs and, in 1993, the public backed the Treaty on a second referendum.
In 2001, the Irish rejected the Nice Treaty; a year later, after caveats, they gave it the nod.
In 2005, France and the Netherlands voted down the EU constitution; the EU repackaged the constitution as the Lisbon Treaty and carried on merrily.
The Irish said no to Lisbon in 2008 but affirmed it after a rethink in 2009.
Local politicians have been instrumental to these reversals.
