Eurocrats might try to scare everyone but we all know who they are and who pays them. With the NGOs the matter of funding is far more opaque.

I've voted “No” four times over the last 20 years. Being on the “Yes” side would feel very strange.<br /><br /><em>“unless Ms Sturgeon wants to argue that the people of Scotland are, as a nation, uniquely stupid”</em><br /><br />It's one of the oddities of politics that its practitioners often <em>are</em> prepared to argue that their supporters are stupid. (The classic example being Al Gore in Florida back in 2000, whose case seemed to hinge on the idea that the people who wanted to vote for him were too dumb to know how.)<br /><br />No doubt there will be limits on campaign expenditure. But that won't stop hordes of Eurocrats coming over to earnestly discuss the evils and torment that will befall Britain should it vote “No” on TV.Sam Duncanhttp://www.countingcats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-85922902091973240342015-05-28T17:34:16.602+01:002015-05-28T17:34:16.602+01:00As usual the europhiles (or IN-CONTINENTS as someb...As usual the europhiles (or IN-CONTINENTS as somebody called them) will have much larger funds. However, money is not all. One example was the Swedish EURO referendum which was won by the side that had something like a fifth (most likely much less, but the punctilious accounting was not so very punctilious) of the funding of the opponent. <br /><br />/MikgenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
