I already voted and rejected the amendment. And familiarise yourself with rhetorical emphasis.

Well said
Please, please, please, to anyone who reads this, do not refuse to vote out of disgust with your reaction to how our No has been treated. You will play into the hands of those who seek to bend us to their will. It is of the utmost importance to stand firm and say NO.
Clowen, Kenny, Gilmore, Sarkozy, Merkel, RTE or The Irish Times couldn't give a fukk if the turnout next time is 10%, just as long as the majority of that 10% say YES. Not voting out of protest won't put them out in the slightest.
Most of the people voted no the last time because:
1. They did not understand the treaty (which is why it should have never been put to a referendum) and.
2. They listened to the sh1te the crowds you have listed above were spouting.
And now you can go and do it again as will I. And we can allow our fellow citizens do the same. Your vote and my vote only count as two. Everybody else can take stock of what's happened and what's being established since now & then and make their decision accordingly. It's one of those questions that most definitively cannot be answered by windy assertions or Youtube videos but by a simple tallymans count. And life is sweet
The Tories talk tough, but they just go through the motions. The main reason why Thatcher was dumped was over the Maastricht Treaty. As soon as she was dumped, the Maastricht Treaty was passed. The Tories have too many links with the financial and business elites. It gives the Tories street-cred to be opposed to the Lisbon Treaty. If the Lisbon Treaty was passed (hypothetically- speaking) you would never hear another pip out of them.
P.s I'm voting No
Wrong. She resigned in 1990. Maastricht was negotiated in 1992.
All you're saying is that your " No " gave you a feeling of empowerment
and you'd like that feeling again.
She resigned in November 1990. The final negotiations on the Maastricht Treaty didn't begin until December 1991, the treaty was finally signed in February 1992. Do you think they would have been able to conduct those negotiations if Margaret Thatcher was prime minister during 1991??
