Jonathan also lambasted the rules; normally in an Irish referendum both sides must be allowed equal airtime in the broadcast media.  For this referendum only, the Yes campaign was allowed more airtime than the No.  With Ryanair and Intel both making huge donations to the Yes campaign (Ryanair wants to be allowed to take over Aer Lingus, whilst Intel are seeking to overturn a billion-euro fine) the Yes campaign outspent the No campaign by around 10 to 1.

Jonathan Arnott said "Nigel has served the party expertly for many years.  Although there is some sadness that this is the end of an era, Nigel's decision is totally understandable.  Nigel will still be around - and no doubt will continue to generate media coverage." 

A leadership election will now be held in the coming months.
