If you don’t understand it, why vote for it?

In his Irish Independent column today, Kevin Myers brilliantly nails one of the most infuriating pro-European arguments:

The final argument from the ‘Yes’ camp is that the ‘No’ side really doesn’t understand Lisbon. And, for once, they’re right. So why should I say ‘Yes’ to a legal document I don’t understand? My lawyer would never urge me to buy a house under such conditions.

Why would we follow different rules when voting for the future of our country?
