    Default "Voters" say yes to....

    Quote Voters say yes to euro austerity rules
    Dublin

    IRELAND has backed the European Union's Fiscal Pact in the region's only referendum on a controversial treaty that locks the euro's austerity rules into national law.

    Supporters of the ''yes'' movement, backed by the full weight of the government, trade unions and big business, won a clear victory with more than 60 per cent of the vote.

    After a bad-tempered campaign marred by a lower-than-normal turnout and deep social divisions, ''no'' campaigners led by Sinn Fein conceded defeat.

    Enda Kenny, the Prime Minister, hailed a result that would give the ''stability and certainty that investors need''. He added: ''The people of Ireland have taken another step on the road to economic recovery. Today has been a good day's work.''
    Voters say YES??? How many voters participated out of the potential number of voters? The apathy of 'voters' NOT voting is growing to such an extent that anyone putting a cross on a ballot paper these days is deemed to be a major voter! With election fraud so manifest and so public how dare 'they' say "voters say yes". OK - get off your backsides and shelve the apathy and VOTE - have a very stringent counting system which cannot be corrupted and obviously noone is blackmailed in the counting process.... Why can dead people still vote in state elections? Who presses the 'power-cut' button during the counting process. No wonder we can't be bothered any more, but what is the MINIMUM percentage of voters required before there literally is a NO VOTE situation? Then what...?

    Well, they didn't lie, did they? They said voters vote yes - not the people of Ireland vote yes.

    Democracy is such a joke that it is odd how we can allow it to stand as our method of selecting leaders. The winners are always a minority. Therefore there is nothing democratic about it.
    Life is what you make it.

    F*ck me !!

    Unbelievable, really. I'm now totally conviced that the majority of people on Earth actually WANT to be mind-controlled slaves, and from what I can see, they deserve what they get. Humanity is DEvolving.

    Oh to find a nice tropical island with a magical force-field, shielding it from the view of the NWO.
