The "no" of the Irish electorate against the Treaty of Lisbon has hit the European elite hard. However, the "no" against the Treaty of Lisbon is not directed against support for the EU as such but rather against a deliberately unintelligible Treaty. Lack of knowledge seems to have played a pivotal role in the voting behaviour, as those who know little about the content of the Treaty turned out to be more likely to vote "no" than those who had good knowledge about it. After some initial reluctance, the European Council adopted a "European solution" to the problem in the European Council conclusions of December 2008, providing some concessions to the Irish concerns as articulated by the Irish government. This will now be worked out in the form of a legally binding protocol to the Treaty of Lisbon that will be "piggy-back" on the next accession Treaty. In addition Ireland succeeded in extracting the major concession from the European Council that the clock would be turned back and that each Member State would retain its own Commissioner, despite explicit (existing) agreement to the contrary. In this case voice was not followed by exit (provided the second referendum is successful).
