"There will never be a really free and enlightened State, until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly." On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, Thoreau.

Congratulations To The Little People Of Ireland
Congratulations, Ireland.
The EU took you for a tiny, spineless nation, with a population they could bully and lie to with ease in order to get what they wanted.
Interesting point. If the Brits had been allowed to say NO in a referendum, would they have voted YES after being bullied and frightened into getting the answer right the second time?
I have faith in Brit belligerence and stuborness to think that twice as many would have voted no the second time... well, we can dream.
