Ireland to hold second Lisbon Treaty referendum?

Seems the European Union just won't take NO for an answer.

EU officals expect Ireland to hold second Lisbon Treaty referendum

European Union officials expect Ireland to cave in and hold a second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in Autumn 2009.

Why should this be?

Ireland has been under French and German pressure to hold a second vote and Autumn 2009 has emerged as the favoured date among officials and diplomats ahead of the European Union summit on the future of the Lisbon Treaty next month.

Ireland has refused to deny that a second referendum could occur, following the 'No' vote in June.

The document has been written by an influential group of French officials, called Le Amis du Traite de Lisbonne or Friends of the Lisbon Treaty.

Whatever, seems that the EU does not understand the concept of Democracy.
Unless it comes out with the correct results.
