What I know is based on information given to me by an MP.
When it was realised by Blair and co that they were about to loose the referendum to ratify the GFA, a serious campaign was mounted to persuade the electorate to vote the 'Right Way'. It involved giving the media selected information to suit the pro case, and withholding anything that was against. Many dirty tricks were used that would have pleased Dr Goebbells. Thus the Referendum gave the 'Right answer'.
In other words the process was not democratic, and for this reason I was personally opposed to it , and I would hope that UKLIP was too.

Also remember their tactics re Nice.
