No. Not even if it was a Brisbane treaty.

This country said NO to Lisbon, and it'll probably say the same to Lisbin

The lisbin treaty is a load of rubbish...

Peared

The lesbian treaty?

Oh, the lisbin treaty.

Firewalkwithme

I would vote Yes just like I did first time around and hopefully a lot of those who voted No last time because they either didn't know what they were voting for or were frightened into voting No by the lies of the likes of Libertas will take the time to educate themselves should there be a second poll.

Pj!

Did anyone mention the fact that he mis-spelled it?

Hey you shouldn't say stuff like that about Libertas, the CIA might being monitoring this sight

I'm going to sit this vote out. I was constantly bugged by everyone in my family to vote in the first one, even though i didn't want to, and i finally do and it turns it didn't even matter because we're doing it again. So i'm not voting 'Folds Arms with frown on face'

Wurly

I would vote no. Just like I voted the last time.
Hopefully I will not have to say no a third time.

What part of no do they not understand?

Holsten

No! Nein! Níl!

zig

id vote yes again and again and again and again until people understand that yes is the only suitable vote

Definite No again and least we forget those condesending remarks from Nicolas Sarkozy,

TPD

I would probably vote yes - I think it would be interesting to be part of the United States of Europe.

Its not as if every state in America doesn't have its own traditions, customs and culture, don't see why we'd lose ours here.

fair enough, but I guess that if everyone voted and had a good reason to vot that wasnt "I dont trust cowen" or "I dont understand what im voting for", im pretty sure the yes vote would come out on top, not by much but still on top.

Captain Darling

I think he's on about extrending the franchaise 2 lisbians?


Lisbians have rights too ya know!!!!

Extrending lisbian franchaising. ftw

Of course we will, Run_To_Da_Hills, PMed me telling me that we'll have to learn Esperanto if everyone votes yes.

[All piss taking aside, it will be my first time voting(if we need to vote again) and I will vote no, as I didnt know what Lisbon was about then, and i sure as hell dont care now, making a country vote again, madness)

Lockstep

I'd vote no.

First time round I was a fairly swing voter but this one reeks of us being made to vote until we give them the vote they want.

TPD

I didn't vote first time round and likely wont this time (not registered :P), but I can't see that they would present an identical treaty to vote upon.

If there are minor changes addressing the main issues the 'no party' had with the treaty, then why not vote again?

Dord

No. Just like I voted the first time, I shouldn't have to fuckin' vote again! :mad:
Maybe if the government got some balls we wouldn't have to vote again.

biko

I would go for the obvious Atari Jaguar option.

lol there was a lot of people who didnt know what it was about and voted yes because they were told to by all the major parties, or didnt want to vote the same as sinn fein, i find it funny how the no voters are made to feel like they have to explain themselves for voting no while the yes voters were never subjected to this.

and the yes side was doing a fair bit of scaremongering too, telling us our economy would be in danger because of a no vote.

That's the problem, there could be a backlash where people will vote no again so as not to be 'giving in' so to speak. The government have no-one to blame but themselves for this mess, they failed to sell it first time round and failed dismally to convince people that a yes vote was the right thing to do, which it was.

I voted yes because I looked into what it was about and saw nothing to be scared of. But no doubt plenty of people would vote yes to just about anything that the government tells them to. There was a lack of any real understanding on both sides of the divide.

and the yes side was doing a fair bit of scaremongering too, telling us our economy would be in danger because of a no vote.

Cowen recently tried to link our failing economy to the no vote on Lisbon, which even by politician standards is some line of bullsh1t. Of course it couldn't possibly have anything to do with his own government's mismanagement of public finances.

They should just print the ballot papers with only a 'Yes' option next time. It will save the possibility of yet another embarrassing democratic moment.

Darragh29

Upon mature reflection, I have solemnly decided to vote on the next occasion as follows...

I'll be voting "shove it back up your lala for the second time you fu*kin' totally deaf matress resembling Taoiseacht with dat dopey looking cu*t beside you".

Eh I'll be voting No again Ted!

:D:D

You FAIL at Thread Title.

doonothing

I'd have to see what exactly has changed since the first vote..
But if, in any regard, they again try to treat europe as a single political entity,ill vote no again, because I simply do not agree with that. I hate the way the yes campaign act as if the n6 vote did nothing but listen to scare tactics and vote no because we 'didnt understand it'. Thats patronising, condescending bull****.

Run_to_da_hills

It would be interesting to see how powerful the Yes campaign will be in the next run up as it will now have the full weight of the EU commission behind it with foreign backing of course no questions asked of where the funding came from.

The NO campaigners will be scrutinised about their funding and some huge propaganda scandal will be concocted about the main no contenders just prior to the run up to try to turn support away from them. They will be treated as an "underground" movement and against the interests of the European Union. and I would not be surprised if the EU try to blaim the state of the countries economy on the fact that we voted no the last time. I am looking foreword to more humorous posters and stickers from the no campaign.

Dave!

I vote YES for lesbiens

Hagar

Why didn't they call it the Lisboa Treaty?

Silenceisbliss

It's pretty underminding and stupid to vote for something again after the vote said NO.

It would be just pure cheek to ask us to vote again , especially after Sarkozy's remarks. I'd feel like people were being scared and intimidated into voting 'Yes'. Democracy, indeed. :rolleyes:

It reminds me of the 'South Park' episode where Stan is being forced into voting, only to be told that his vote didn't make any difference whatsoever to the results. :pac:

If we had to vote again, I wouldn't vote. I'd just pack my bags and leave the country. Not living in a 'democracy' where if the Government doesn't get the vote they want they just make us vote again, and possibly again, and possibly again until they get a Yes vote.

thelordofcheese

ITT: Nobody knows what democracy actually means.

dlofnep

You make it sound like we have an option. I voted no the last time. This time, I'm just going to scratch my arse which is symbolic of my distaste for trying to force a vote out of us.

Dear Sarkozy. Feck off.

Sincerely,
Ireland.

Where would you go instead? The UK, Europe? These other so called "democratic" societies where you had no choice but to accept YES.

ejmaztec

Those Lisbins tuk are spell-checkers.

Wagon

I'd vote No. Ignorant French prick of a president trying to make us vote again.

Wazdakka

Personally I like the idea of the Irish people deciding what is in our constitution rather than a pannel of EU officials..
No more referendums ever?
Bugger that..

I was away for the first vote, and I'm headin off away again soon so I prob wont be here if there is a second.

But still, a massive great big stonking negative from this direction..

dub_skav

I did look into what i was voting for and voted No. I was not scared of conscription and abortion being foisted upon us as the yes side seem to think.

Asked to vote again I would vote no again, I think a lot of people that I know who originally voted Yes would now vote No to prove to our government and the EU that we will not be bullied.

Ishmael

I didn't vote the first time but if we had to vote again and they provided proper documentation or at least something that would give a good indication of what is in store, i would read it and then decide.

Prof.Badass

No. The lisbon treaty is deliberately unreadable.Now if that doesn't arouse suspicion, i don't know what does.

The irish constitution is readable, i don't see why this can't be either.
