The tricky game with the popular will

The ruling Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) wants future EU treaties to be ratified by referendum. That could also hold for the Treaty of Lisbon in the event that it is significantly changed after Ireland's No. The newspaper Die Presse comments: "The question is, what consequences will this have at the EU level? At a time when the Union's standing among its citizens is very low, it could start a trend. One hears in diplomatic circles that people are talking along similar lines in Finland, the Netherlands and even Greece. Certainly, it is problematic that the Austrian initiative is torpedoing any new attempts in the EU to hold Europe-wide referendums on important matters. Yet that would mean not holding a national vote, but a pan-European one. ... If at some point in the future 27 EU states have to hold referendums to adopt a treaty, there is hardly any chance at all of it being approved."
