Hmm, I think you all realise that a rejection of the Lisbon treaty just means that about half a dozen treaties (which make a much longer reading BTW) that were meant to be replaced by the Lisbon treaty stay valid instead.

That was not a vote against "Europe" though some seem to think it was. It was just a vote for the old (obviously not liked everywhere) bunch of treaties instead of the new one.

The new one had some interesting democratic opportunities like a referendum enforceable by (don't know how many) citizens of Europe.
