"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." – George Bernard Shaw
And when you consider the sugar coated and specious material produced by the DFA and the referendum commission..........
If you think their material was biased, then take a court case. If not, quit whinging.
"Elite - a small superior group; esp one that has a power out of proportion to its size." (Oxford English Dictionary)
The majority cannot therefore be the elite.
If there had been any genuine mileage in that particular gripe, an injunction could have easily been taken. It's not as if the whole business was short on court challenges, so that nobody took that one is telling - I think even those who whinge loudly know the problem was just that the DFA/RefComm material unsurprisingly failed to repeat the rubbish the No side was shouting.
Never let the best be the enemy of the good.

By the way, who stumps up for this debt?

The DFA and the Referendum Commission spending is not including in that Yes-Group figure.
The DFA spent €700,000 and RefCom spent almost €4,000,000 (bringing their total for both Lisbon campaigns to €9,100,000).
?!?!?... The word used was specious... i would agree with this in part, especially of their adverts.
