"Mr President, an earlier speaker accused my colleague, Nigel Farage, of not respecting Irish democracy. Can I assure them that he does. What he has no respect for is the unfair and biased way in which the referendum campaign was conducted. Indeed, such is his and our party’s respect for democracy that we would like to see referenda in the 26 countries that have so far been denied them.
Another speaker said that it was not the first ‘yes’ vote that there had been and that there had been ‘yes’ votes in Luxembourg and Spain, but surely those referenda were on the Constitution and not the Lisbon Treaty? We are told that Lisbon is different from the Constitution, so which is it? Have we had the same referenda in six countries, or have we had referenda in four countries on the Constitution and referenda in two countries on Lisbon? If it is the first case, then it is a 3-3 score draw. If it is the second case, it is a 2-2 score draw and a 1-1 score draw. Hardly a ringing endorsement for the Lisbon Treaty."@en1
