  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  
  <p>The Aye-voters failed to carry an <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/glossary/?gl=114">amendment</a> resisting and criticising the Government's policy towards the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_lisbon">Treaty of Lisbon</a> in respect of provisions concerning foreign, security and defence policy. In particular, the Aye-voters argued that it would not always be the case that all European member states would share the same foreign policy and that therefore the Government's policy towards the Lisbon Treaty was against the "national interest".</p>
