Only 50% of those eligible to vote did so. I think it was that most people simply didn't understand the arguments. This is not that they were badly explained; the ruling elite don't want the likes of us understanding the arguments.
The deciding factor appears to be that they might have need of the European Stability Pact in the future, which I suppose is fair enough. The other side of the coin is that they give up their financial independence.
Depressing.

I think the apathy was more to do with the fact that they knew they'd be told to vote again if they had voted the wrong way, and I'm afraid they lost their financial independence a while ago.
How utterly sad that a country which struggled so long to be outside of British influence should embrace such a malign "friend".
