As its natural habitat is the bureaucratic undergrowth and therefore it is seldom observed in daylight it may well have been thought - by those poor souls who ponder these issues - that the Diqule is a species threatened by extinction. In fact thanks to the intrepid investigators at EUreferendum and other blogs we now know that the Diqule is going through an exponential growth phase.
