i also like the way SF are not using traditional republican colours in those posters.

gets any anti-SF sentiment out of the way and instead focuses the viewer on the poster message itself.

I'll re-phrase: It is a lie to assert that the EU post Lisbon will "crush family farms" and "lower wages".

Now..
Eh. Did you ever think that the issue with some people is being a part of some superstate? Being the Utah of the UOE? Taking every decision in the arse with barely a whisper in proceedings? Ever think that was the issue? No one has any delusions over our small population. The posters just hit home how meek a voice we will be once this self-amending treaty is passed.

Well, yes, but I don't see the point in using the Irish for vote. I have no problem with it but I can see it resulting in a few people fobbing the posters off as backwards. Again, I don't think this way, but I know there's a sizable portion in the population who do. Then again, most with that mentality would probably be yes-leaning anyway.

indeed. anyone who has a problem with the "as Gaelige" will be voting Yes anyway. these posters arent targetted at them.

That's a very extreme view to take! Are you really saying that anyone who sees no value in posters using a few words in 'Gaelige' (sic) is guaranteed to be a yes voter and that all those who favour posters i nGaeilge are definitely no voters?
Further, to say the posters aren't 'targetted' (sic) at those who intend to vote yes begs the question as to whom they are targeted at? Surely no point in targeting those who will definitely vote no so that only leaves the 'don't knows'. It's a very limited campaign then.

He's right.

It's a Capital C, followed by small O......

Correct, it should be Cock Roche. At least if the posters at the last election are anything to go by.

Pity you not so worried about lower wages for ordinary working people FT. Still on the Lisbon Treaty we can agree. Vote No.
