    Ireland for Europe tie in question of staying in Europe

    Surprise surprise IFE using the slogan "Were stronger in europe" to up the ante at their croke park demonstration. This is of course scaremongering and a barefaced lie as a no vote means the status quo, albeit elements of the treaty will probably be salvaged.
    They cant defend the treaty so jack up the fear factor.

    I found this comment more interesting:

    Headline: 35% vote Yes in Metro survey

    Surveys indicate that 25% of Dublin Metro Urbanlites* still don’t know how they are going to vote on the Lisbon Treaty. The current Urbanlites survey also showed that 35% are voting YES.
    Reminds me of the Iowa Caucuses when the likes of MSNBC led with headlines that two-thirds of voters had rejected Hillary Clinton, conveniently ignoring the fact that two-thirds had rejected John Edwards and close to two-thirds had rejected Barack Obama.

    25% undecided + 35% voting yes = 40% voting no. But that wasn't worthy of a mention.
