ENG: Declan James Ganley (born 23 July 1968) is a British-born entrepreneur, businessman and political activist. He is founder and chairman of a political party, Libertas with pan-European ambitions. The party was unsuccessful in this ambition in the 2009 European Parliament Election, succeeding in getting only one of the hundreds of candidates elected, in France. Ganley himself was unsuccessful in this election, securing less than 10% of the valid poll. Ganley has started companies in forestry, telecommunications and the Internet and is currently serving as chairman of the board of Rivada Networks. During the 2008 Irish referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon, Ganley and the Libertas Institute campaigned for a No vote.

cici - in poll Declan Ganley DECLAN Ganley is out of the European elections. He is out of the Lisbon 2 debacle. He is out of politics. Out, out, out. This time the Thatcherite slogan will be chanted by the Irish establishment. Neither political parties nor their corporate supporters liked Declan Ganley. He rattled their respective cages. He was unwilling to accept that faceless, nameless bureaucrats should be given unprecedented powers to create legislation in Europe. His campaign against the Lisbon Treaty was an attempt to address this. His campaign for election as an MEP has ended. Attempts by mainstream ...

Irish democrats still say no to Lisbon | Declan Ganley
The contempt for the original vote against the treaty is typical of the EU's attitude toward dissent. We must stand firmBeing Irish, it's hard to imagine how it must appear to an outsider looking at our second referendum on the Lisbon treaty. At least somebody out there reading this must be jealous – we get to vote twice and you don't get to vote at all. Perhaps the most interesting thing about our re-vote is the way in which it was regarded as a certainty after the original referendum. The votes were literally not counted before some Irish media personalities, and EU leaders, were speculating on a timeline for round two. You see, "no" results are never about the treaty. No. They are about domestic issues, or people are misinformed, or enemies of Europe have lied to the poor unsuspecting people. By contrast, "yes" votes are ringing endorsements of Brussels, based on informed, thoughtful analysis.As such, we Irish behaved badly, and were therefore required as a matter of course to vot |
