If by some chance the No vote is carried again will all the yessers respect the absolute will of the people. Are gov ministers going to rush out and look for a reason for the result and try to devalue it. Do you think they have plan b if no wins. I am voting no but if yes wins I will respect it and get on with it but can the no side expect the same curtesy.
Will you allow other countries to go with lisbon, and let ireland stay with nice?Originally Posted by terence
I'm pretty sure it will be a yes, but maybe by some freak accident it will be a no.
Still, even as the investor consensus ravages the euro, it's worth remembering that the same herd instinct not long ago was pronouncing last rites for the dollar. Last year, as China's central bank chief called for a new global currency and Russian central bankers dumped greenbacks to buy euros, many saw the dollar's decline as inevitable. Now, the dollar is riding high, and the euro looks bedraggled.

The people of Europe don't want Lisbon. Why do you think we're the only ones that get to vote on it?
Cowen the idiot, will think third time lucky.
I'm pretty sure alot of the people of EUROPE, voted yes in 2005.
So it's not smart to put all the people in 1 box.

That's not what the OP asked
You mean another freak accident like a democratic majority?- hardly compatible to being hit by a bus made of daggers now is it?

...that was on the Constitution.! Not Lisbon! Ireland is the only country to have a referendum on Lisbon.
Both texts, granted, are 95% related and it's also worth pointing out that Lisbon was designed to avoid referendums across the member states.

I will. I only support the 2nd referendum because the commissioner issue and the guarantees may have allayed many people's (I think unfounded) fears first time round. If that's not the case and the majority vote no again, that's it.
IMO No I would bet we will be 'told' to go back and vote again until 'we' get it right!!!!!!!!
