Tony Benn was in Dublin yesterday, lecturing on why we should vote No in the referendum in June.
He argues that the Lisbon Treaty is a move away from democracy.
Tony Benn is a man of great wisdom and integrity.
He points out that the new President and Foreign Affairs spokespersons will not be elected. But those positions will be appointed by elected persons.
Surely democracy is at the heart of the European Union.
