Great result for ‘lulas’ and other ‘extremists’

FRIDAY the 13th proved to be a very lucky day for the Irish, for the 99.3% of Europe denied a vote and also a great day for democracy in general.

While elated with the rejection of the Lisbon Treaty, I was shocked to discover there was such a substantial bloc of “lulas” and “extremists” in this country, to quote the words of two former Taoisigh describing those who might have the audacity to reject their advice.

Clearly a sophisticated electorate were not impressed by the bullyboy tactics, name-calling and arrogance of the establishment that also characterised the two previous referenda on Nice.
