    How many people have changed their minds re Lisbon Treaty?

    Having noticed a change of mind on another thread http://www.politics.ie/viewtopic.php?f=172&t=36698, I'm wondering are there many other people who have swung from No to Yes or visa versa.

    Re: How many people have changed their minds re Lisbon Treaty?

    Ive swung from 'couldn't care less' to 'Yes' upon seeing the composition of the No side, and their incessant lies (not all of them, those pushing the corporation tax/abortion lines in particular).

    The only 'No' argument I have time for is people who do not want Irish sovereignty diluted, ie to not be part of a greater union, and to stand alone.

    Its not something I agree with at all, but I can see their point of view and respect it.

    I was strongly leaning No, but after realising that voting No doesn't get us anything better and could well get us something worse, I'm going to hold my nose and vote Yes.

    I was leaning No, then I was firmly Yes, then I had a brief flirtation with No again and now I've settled on Yes. That was all in the time it took to write this message too.

    I think you changed back while the post was uploading too.

    Ditto - I was no until I saw some of the people on the No campaign. If it's bad for Coir, Justin Barrett and John Bolton, it's gotta be good for me.

    I've changed my mind.

    I used to think Libertas were scary. Now I just think they're creepy.

    Having an absolute ideological aversion to the EU as presently constituted, it would take a total turn around in my political beliefs before I could support any EU treaty.

    Re: How many people have changed their minds re Lisbon Treaty?

    There were a number of screw ups on the No side that almost made me switch my vote. But Im still No, there are some fundamentals that campaign chuggers have not been able to abate.

    I know only one person who has switched from No to Yes.
    In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
