Lisbon part 2. Read up on the treaty before voting.

Terry

The government (in a remarkably intelligent move considering they are mostly idiots) have supplied every household in the country with information on the treaty.

We have a lot of rabid yes and no supporters.

Rather than starting a thread with little information (or crap supplied to you by American based people who will lose money if the vote doesn't go their way), I would suggest you read the supplied information (it is actually unbiased and not a big conspiracy).

So before you go starting a thread on whether you should vote yes or no (If you're asking people on the internet how you should vote, then you really need to hand in your polling card. Seriously. If you can't decide for yourself (or if daddy tells you how to vote)), then you really shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Democracy is about you making your own decision.

Make sure you are informed about this treaty before voting.
Make your own decision.
You have the whole internet at your hands.
I suggest you use it before making up your mind based on any and all propaganda.


Before you ask, I'll be voting yes.
Do not read that as an endorsement for the yes side. Read it as me making an informed decision. After Hours and boards.ie do not endorse any political parties or any side in a referendum. I'm just pointing out my own personal preference in this thread as an AH user and then abusing my mod powers by locking and stickying this thread.
The yes side may not appeal to you, so this is why I urge you to read up on it before voting.
Do not be a lemming. Make your own decision.

Remember, it's up to you how this turns out. Do not be influenced by any political party or family member or friends or anything you read on the internet (I once ate a 200 year old tortoise. Or did I? You can't believe everything you read on the net).

The great thing about boards.ie is that it provides a platform for both sides.
I suggest you use the European Union forum for all your Lisbon treaty needs and ignore the lunatic fringe lobbyists here in AH. I love them, but you have to take everything they say with a pinch of salt.


Vote wisely based on your own beliefs and not on what some stranger tells you on the internet or what someone with a vested interest tells you to vote for.


Edit: Voting yes because I'm voting yes is idiotic.
Voting no because I'm voting yes is equally as idiotic.
