I would be interested to see the Voting intentions broken down by level of understanding if thats possible to be gotten hold of?

Sorry can't help you there on specifics, except to say that there has always existed a strong correlation between understanding and Yes votes here re: European treaties, prime example being our two Nice Treaty referenda.

Would you care to explain?

Yes. YOu are saying that those who actually rad the treaty, the cult elites, vote for it, while the proles vote against it because they are ignorant, and possible need to be "reeducated" in order to vote "yes" like every good citizen should.

Actually, Bono, I think he is saying that those who read it were more likely to vote yes. That does not necessarily make it any more correct, and that part about "re-education" is rather an extreme stretch of what he said.

Thanks for correcting my spelling. I always had this patological fear of hiphens I try to fight, but sometimes my head is not strong enough to cut that out.
Second, I think the word "possibly" is indicative that it was an extreme stretch, done for shock value more than anything else, I willingly admit so.
