The only other countries where it went to a public vote to my knowledge were France and the Netherlands. Both rejected it.

The very fact that EU members were not allowed to vote on something which directly affects them is an absoloute disgrace. Why do we continue to wank ourselevs off as being free peoples in a democracy? We are not! in all likelyhood, the bastards in the dail are going to get there way this time.

If people would look at the big issues and read the damn thing, instead of worrying about how many notes are in there wallets. You want to beat the recession? Change your damn ways. Most Irish people are far too arrogant. We bitch and moan about the economy but make virtually no changes to our lifestyle. Why listen to Fianna Fail now? Why let Nicholas Sarkozy and the others, the big wigs who want the treaty because it works to THERE globalised advantage, win?

People before profit!

I agree ProbeEight, but unfortunately I think because of the predicament the countries in at the moment, there will be many people who'll be inclined to vote Yes in an attempt to steady the ship, you know? In the same way they kept Fianna Fail in during last general election when times were still quite good and people were unwilling to take a gamble on a new government.

If it's a YES then I think it's the biggest mistake this country will make and will seriously think of moving.

Yep, that seems to be the general line, but people should look to there past mistakes, i.e. voting Fianna Fail back in.

The thing is your right, yes, it will steady the ship, but I am more concerned with where this ship is going. Thats what people tend not to think about.

where do they get their figures from? surveys? I just find it very insulting that our government didn't respect our original decision.They're supposed to do what we want not the other way around!
