    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭Scioch


    51.9% Yes - 48.1% No

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭steelcityblues


    53.2% YES - 46.8% NO.

    Hope I am wrong, though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭[-0-]


    48% turnout.
    No 55 Yes 45.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭steelcityblues


    Yes 62 No 38

    I think I can safely say, you will be wrong.

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

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    think they are just citing an out of date report, which was taking the latest opinion poll as valid data!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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69 ✭✭glenkeo


    Yes 63 no 37

    Turn out around 50% same has most other ref bar one (nice1 or lisbon1) which was around 43 % and a no


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,950 ✭✭✭nkay1985

    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,630 ✭✭✭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

    57/43 yes.

    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 :)
