The ballot for the referendum clearly stated, on behalf of those voting, that they had read and understood the plan. That means that each and every person was expected to read the main provisions as well as annexes and subsidiary laws.

The technique is an old, and is used in insurance contracts all the time. They give you a bunch of pages in size 6 print to read and then at the bottom you sign stipulating knowledge of and understanding of the terms.

Now, do we honestly say that CYpriots, both GC and TC, wanted to hand over a new lease for British Bases and increase their territory by granting them rights over the continental shelf and economic zone? Did most CYpriots know that the clever little man Hannay had inserted such terms in his plan? I think they did not.
