So what happened ? Bertie put the treaty together, redid it and put it to the people, and we said no. Probably more people than before realised the the powers of the institutions and said "hey they can do that....I didn't know that.", thanks to the straight forward leaflet which we all got. The intention of the treaty was to make the life of the institutions a little easier, a lot of work went into it, so it is not going to happen. It does not mean the end of the EU, at worst ( for the EU) nothing is going to change at best another attempt to speed up the process will be put in place.
I loved the scare tactics "if you vote No you are a shinner" or "if you vote Yes you are an abortionist", but the best one was the Dustin factor, "all those types from the south will vote together".
