Monkey business

“Even if less than five per cent has changed, … your DNA differs by only two per cent from that of a monkey, but the difference is still fundamental,”

… this was the reply of the VVD house leader Han Ten Broeke, talking about the idea that the treaties (Constitutional Treaty and the Reform Treaty) were the same.

So, after three years ago the people of Netherlands said “NO” to the Constitutional Treaty, yesterday evening The House of Commons in the Netherlands said “YES” to the Lisbon/Reform Treaty. However, the Senate still has to approve the Treaty.

Now it’s Ireland’s turn, which has to vote the Treaty next Thursday.
