rabjoshu

Yes 45 No 55

oscarBravo

Yes 50.5%, no 49.5%, followed by claims that the government don't have a mandate to ratify with such a narrow margin and low turnout.

Scioch

51.9% Yes - 48.1% No

Pretty close I'd imagine if its a poor turnout.

steelcityblues

53.2% YES - 46.8% NO.

Hope I am wrong, though.

[-0-]

48% turnout.
No 55 Yes 45.

The problem is, it wasn't a poll conducted by the Government. It was the Government that were polled!

Edit: Also, my guess is 61% No - 39% Yes.

Quick question - do you trust the government?

think they are just citing an out of date report, which was taking the latest opinion poll as valid data!

Only because they are usually wrong, as it is. Mainstream media nearly always takes governments words.Thought a libertarian like yourself would know all of this.

I have a suspicion that those figures are based on a polling forecast which was published in the Telegraph yesterday

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9301109/Dublin-forecasts-60pc-of-voters-will-back-EU-fiskalpakt.html

Could be wrong though.

Ozymandius2011

David McCullagh has tweeted that no reputable company did an exit poll this week, according to Spotty on politics.ie. I am sick of this lazy journalism where elements of the media report rumours as facts. Euronews is doing the same.

My prediction is 52% Yes 48% no but as I have a bet on a no vote and want to retain Irish sovereignty I hope for a no vote. I am disappointed at the low turnout in places like Donegal and that the turnout in hotbeds of Federalism in parts of Dublin was no lower.

What a bloody shambles the media and their cohorts in this country are that none could get their **** together for an exit poll.

Anyway, 55-45 no.

Ozymandius2011

David McCullagh arguing with Bruno Waterfield on Twitter on whether the 60:40 poll exists. Waterfield saying “I’m making my own calls”. Oddly Waterfield claims its ‘presumably based on reports from returning officers’. http://twitter.com/#!/brunobrussels

mike65

57/43 yes.

meglome

I'll have to admit given the sea of poop on this treaty I have never been sure of a Yes. I'm still thinking 57:43 no, though I hope I'm wrong.

And me a big Yes whore

Tarzann

52-48 to NO.
Bit of a swing on betfair throughout the day, however YES remains the favourite

kiermul

Euro news at 12.30pm starts there news bulletin with "Ireland says yes"
Have they counted them all already and not told us ?

Ozymandius2011

I think this is lazy journalism by international news agencies before the count has even started.

There was a FG exit poll to Lisbon 2 and it was 52-48 in favour. That was 15% less than the yes vote actually got. So even if an exit poll existed, it would be extremely dubious to take it as the result.

Wereghost

70:30 Yes. It seems to me that a lot of people are voting Yes just to go against Sinn Fėin's preferred result. Well, there are worse reasons for voting a given way.

Pompey Magnus

I'm guessing 59-41 to Yes.

A_Sober_Paddy

Turnout 43%

Yes 41
No 59

Trhiggy83

Everyone i have been talking too has voted no, i think it will be a lot closer than people think... Ill go 50% yes and 50% no

Red Crow

Yes - 58%
No - 42%

I'd say that is the lowest it will be. From talking to friends and people inside my constituency more people said they were voting 'NO' but it was more likely that most of those people wouldn't show up.

K-9

46% national turnout.

54% Yes

46% No.

RossNolan

I'm hoping No but I think the Yes will take it 56 - 44 or so.

Even though I think the Yes side will win I can't believe the Tony Connelly poll that the Yes side got over 60%. To begin with it would go against all precedent - a low turnout (which has always favoured No voters on EU treaties), the tendency of opinion polls to underestimate No support and the late in the day decision of Richard Boyd Barrett to back the No side. If Connelly's poll is right the No vote actually lost support compared with just a week ago.

JONJO THE MISER

Yes 59 No 41.

You really think Richard Boyd-Barrett is a bonus to the no side? Normally when he says something I almost automatically assume the opposite.

Here's a thing. I agree with Richard Boyd Barrett when he talks about the Iraq war, because he is holding the same position as me. I disagree when he talks about the EU, because he holds an opposite position to me. Funny how that works. Mind you life would be much simpler, and so would I, if I just said things like X says A so the right answer MUST be B, or vice versa, all the time.

hobochris

54:46 in favour of No.

and then ofcourse a revote as thats how "democracy" works in this joke we call a country. :rolleyes:

Boyd Barrett has been pretty clear on his "No"stance since it was announced that a referendum was required. Are you sure your not thinking of Declan Ganley ?

But isn't it a sign (AGAIN) that the ethics in successive governments is rotten to the core? Do you think FG/Lab are going to put the right people in jail for what went on there after all the lipservice has been done?
I don't agree with everything RBB says or everything that is said on the left but I don't use the gombeen blanket of derision that some here do. Some who portray themselves as politically astute! You don't have to sell your soul but it's high time that people listened up and used their votes to end this.

Yes: 55%

Where crimes were committed the offenders should be jailed. I've no idea where you got from my post that I didn't believe that!?
