Has the Ref con been doctored? If so when? And how?

Who butchered the Referendum commission? And when did they get away with this after Nice 1?

The big 3 or 4 political parties and the Ref Con are using blatant propaganda, and people are not informed on the issues of Nice, what is happening with the ref con media ads is Goebbelesque.

Allan Dukes and other ff and fg politicians claimed in Nice 1 that the Referendum commission ‘confused’ people by giving them both the yes and the no sides of the Nice referendum, the blueshirts and ff’ers were vocal is calling for the Referendum commission to be changed in order to prevent them giving the arguments against Nice 2. What I want to know is what exactly happened that allowed them to only present one side of the debate in this referendum? and most ordinary voters like me have no clue about how (or even if) this has occurred either, although the slightly more perceptive have remarked that it seems a ‘bit’ one sided.
