- Second Irish referendum:
- 'A victory for the bully boys, big money and bureaucrats' -Nigel Farage
- European Parliament, Brussels, 7 October 2009
- It's all terribly simple really, isn’t it?
- We've had one vote against the Treaty in Ireland and one vote for the Treaty in Ireland,
- so if we've we got any sort of sporting sense we ought to make this the best of three;
- but the difference is that with a third referendum
- let’s make it a free and a fair referendum.
- Because what has happened in Ireland most certainly is not that!
- In fact, I hope you are all very proud of yourselves
- because what you've done is you've taken the littlest boy in the playground,
- got him into the corner and given him a good kicking.
- This is a victory for the bully boys;
- it's a victory for big money and it's a victory for bureaucrats.
- The whole thing was a travesty!
- Oh, so you... so you respect... you respect this vote, do you?
- You didn't respect the last vote, did you?
- The European Commission poured in millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money
- to back... to back
- well, pounds -- euros, it doesn’t matter,
- but it does in our case because we've still got the pound, thank God!
- But you poured in millions.
- Something like a factor of between 10:1 and 20:1
- was the outspending of the ‘yes’ side to the ‘no’ side.
- The Referendum Commission in Ireland didn't do their job,
- didn't tell the Irish people
- that of course the Lisbon constitutional treaty has profound,
- profound impacts upon their own constitution;
- and, perhaps worst of all, the Broadcasting Commission in Ireland changed the rules,
- so there wasn't equal coverage for the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’ side.
- The whole thing's an outrage.
- But what they did campaign on, what you all campaigned on, was ‘Vote “yes” for jobs’.
- That's what it was all about.
- Well, hot off the press, folks:
- Aer Lingus have laid people off today
- and Intel, the people who put € 400 000 into the ‘yes’ campaign,
- have laid off 300 people today.
- One thousand, five hundred and fifty jobs have gone since Saturday;
- the only jobs that were preserved by the ‘yes’ vote were the jobs of the political class.
- I suspect that it's all over.
- I suspect that for Ireland their period of independence
- will be a very brief one in their history.
- I don't think that President Klaus will be able to hold out,
- I hope that he does; he's a fine and brave man.
- But it looks like we've got the victory of bureaucracy over national democracy.
- In historical terms, I think Britain now finds herself very alone,
- perhaps as she was back in 1940, but there is a real debate...
- there is a real debate... there's a real debate here.
- What is the point of having a Conservative Prime Minister
- if Mr Blair becomes the overlord?
- What's the point of a Foreign Secretary
- if we've got an EU foreign secretary with his own diplomatic service?
- What is the point of any of it?
- As far as I am concerned, this Irish referendum begins the real debate.
- There's no more pretending:
- if you want national democracy you cannot remain a member of this European Union,
- and we will campaign for Britain to leave and to leave, Danny, as soon possible.
- Thank you, thank you, Mr Nigel Farage.
