"Any euphoria about the second referendum in Ireland is totally out of place. The victory of the ‘yes’ camp was a stolen victory, as the original referendum was conducted in a perfectly legal manner and in accordance with the rules. The majority of those who voted ‘no’ in 2008 understandably felt that official Europe would never heed their verdict if it did not suit the EU. Therefore, many voters stayed at home. EU democracy is a one-way street. There was no fair campaign. The dominance of the ‘yes’ camp in the media was further reinforced by the European Commission’s quire of 16 pages in all the Sunday papers: an illegal use of taxpayers’ money about which the last word has yet to be said. The voters were intimidated. The economic crisis was used as a lever to force people to vote ‘yes’. Ladies and gentlemen of the European Commission, I can predict that your hocus-pocus propaganda will boomerang on you sooner or later."@en1
