Lisbon scaremongering gets ridiculous

It really is ridiculous when the two ministers responsible for european matters continue to peddle lies about the consequences of our no vote. They insist we can be somehow left behind, this is impossible as the treaties only change by unanimity. They insist foreign direct investment will suffer, how is that as we are still full members of the EEA (European economic area) and benefit fully from the single market no matter what happens (even if we leave the EU!!!).
The true consequnces for them is they can no longer look forward to a cushy number in brussels and can no longer be wined and dined as a convenient stick to hit the british with.
The fearmongering over the commission is also unfounded as we can use our veto to ensure the czech proposal of a 26 member commission with the foreign policy chief (currently Spain's Javier Solana) being the 27th commissioner. As we will never get that job we will have a permanent commission seat. Dont be fooled by promises of the rollback mechanism in Lisbon. It only defers the 2/3rds formula for the time being. Plus under lisbon we can only recommend a commission candidate whereas as currently we choose our candidate.
