Of course they would. But any principles they had they discarded to enter government
Of course they would be on the No side. The greens are now FF's lackeys.

They don't have mercs.Originally Posted by digoutday
Few sensible people would regard Ryan or Gormley as gombeens.
Given the fact that they are the only party to actually ask their members what their position is, I think the whole premise for this thread is bogus.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.
Indeed. (Although, to be fair, I think Labour also had a vote, but it was only with a twelve minute debate AFAIK, which isn't exactly great.)
When I voted that the party support a yes vote, I voted because of my impression at the time of the document presented. FF didn't factor into my choice, or the debate on the day. I had no interest or incentive in voting to appease FF, since I'm not in government.

I think they would be in the same position then as they are now.

This thread is full of insightful comments about us already. Thank you to all who called us sell outs - it's been a revelation.
This was the first time the party had ever taken a vote of the membership on the issue of a European Treaty (previously the position had been agreed by the party's policy making body). Opinion had been changing on the topic for a long time and this was just a reflection of that.
