Bíonn beag álainn. Small is beautiful. Male jest piekne. Le petit est beau. Lo pequeño es hermoso. ???? ??????????.
Klein ist fein.
In modern democracies the authority of the parliament is temporarily devoluted from the sovereign authority of the people. Hence, in case of conflict and after a referendum, the people prevails.

The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

No he's saying, as usual, whatever you want him to say.
Just as our referendum result means whatever you want it to mean- except a clear, rejection of the Lisbon Treaty.
