It may have been ratified, but it can't actually take effect because all 28 countries have to agree to it and the Irish have voted against it in their referendum. If the government had not broken their promise to the British electorate, doubtless we would have voted against it too.
Obviously the Brussels hierarchy care not a jot for the will of the people and will try to make the Irish "get it right" or simply move the goalposts so the whole thing can take effect on a majority vote.
Don't see what it's got to do with socialism though...Ken Clarke's all for it and he's a Tory. Tony Benn's agin it and he's...well, you get my drift.
