Vivendi vote shows the danger of believing in democracy

I would like to warn any malcontents, activists or hackers that there is no point in disrupting the Irish General election.
After the events in the Vivendi AGM, i now firmly believe that the nice treaty and the abortion referenda were defeated by 'hackers' and as such I am fully justified in calling for repeat votes under stringent security.
Any attempt to show ingratitude for the magnificent economic boom granted to this company - sorry country - by Fianna Fail will obviously be the result of similar hackers and will necessitate repeat voting until any such irregularities are cleared up.

this is a golden era.

which will not be allowed to end.

Your Taoiseach
