If you base it on the types of comments made on boards and the likes of the thejournal.ie it means that those that say they'll vote no on the internet in no way out number those (likely older people) that will vote yes in the real world.

So in short, the people on boards.ie don't accurately reflect Ireland.

Either that or alot of those people that say they'll vote no on the net either can't be arsed or perhaps are not old enough or can't vote (not in Ireland etc etc).

Tells me that maybe there's alot of the so called working class posting and it reflects the no vote in these areas around the country.

Thats a very simplistic view and wouldn't be totally accurate,

There's also a high proportion of supporters of certainly party's and groups (occupy as an example) that frequent this forum and others on boards.ie, they certainly don't accurately reflect the so called "working class".

You also again see them popping up on thejournal.ie so they can vote down comments and comment about anything that they don't like.

Ok I'll take your word for it about certain groups distorting the poll but just said we lose a third of the NO votes in the poll to these hidden agendas and we believe all the YES votes are honest no hidden partys agendas etc
We'll end up with a 44 to 37 vote which is 53/54% to 47/46% roughly Which is fairly near what we seen in alot of so called working class areas...
