    Seems a pointless idea for a poll, why would you have a Yes or No position on a treaty that you don't yet have the text of?

    Because my friend. There will be treaty change Merkel/Sarkozy have said as much yesterday. It will be about greater control of fiscal policy from europe ultimately greater intergration. If you like take it as a straw poll for the mood of the nation.

    Except as shown multiple times before the boards.ie population in politics does not represent Ireland in it's views.

    Pointless poll would be pointless. Maybe when we have some text - otherwise it's just an opportunity for flag-waving, particularly by those who have already made their minds up to vote No whatever it says.

    moderately,
