For Publication Dear Editor Voters in Ireland have rejected the European Union's Lisbon reform treaty in a referendum by 53.4% to 46.6%. What is deeply disturbing is why only the Irish Republic allowed its people to vote. The cowards and hypocrites in Labour and Lib Dems promised us a vote on the new constitution at the last General Election, then in the House of Lords voted to prevent us having our vote. Never mind the UK invading Iraq to restore Democracy. May be we should ask the Irish Republic to liberate the UK to restore Democracy here? Councillor Steve Radford President of The Liberal Party
