    Where? I think something somewhere just suits your argument. I'd love to see you back up that allegation

    I honestly can't remember where I read it, but I'd agree with Doctor Jimbob that it seems likely. I think it may have been the referendum on the 8th Amendment, when I'd hazard a guess anyone manning the polling station would have been too scared to speak up about a busful of clearly senile pensioners being herded in by a gang of nuns.

    Where's the bullying? There's a democratic right to vote yes, no, or not at all. Also, no. Not NO! Ballot papers aren't hysterical, as opposed to some NO! VOTERS!

    Please don't tell me how to vote.

    The folks who layout the ballot papers must also be a hysterical bunch according to your logic:

    This vote was always going to be a yes - it was just a matter of holding the referendum.

    My opinion has two-ed and fro-ed over the years for various reasons, but I'll certainly be voting yes.

    Im going to go through this step by step so you can maybe understand why people might think its a bit hypocritical to come out with what you did.

    First you said

    Which suggests that you are tell people to vote now and you say

    Then you say

    Despite you telling others how to vote.

    While I don't agree with the idea of anyone herding in "senile" people to vote, it is not up to the polling station clerk to do anything about it if the local clergy or political party bus them in. Their job is to make sure that there is one vote for one person and to ensure that the person can cast that vote privately.

    Myth alert.

    The only "bussing in" (a myth) I've seen is from taxpayer funded gay quangos attempting to corral students and trying to shame older people into blindly "accepting" hypothetical gay relations, ignoring their parish priest, voting "YES" or else be branded a "homophobe".

    It's where we all become gay so we extinguish the population and so Satan rules.

    I think.

    No, No and No.

    Complacency due to polls will mean this will fail.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yawn. If your kind had a moral majority we'd be like Franco's Spain, albeit with shittier weather.

    Really? Some of us like a temperate climate, y'know? Spain doesn't have 'weather'. It has 'climate'. Hot, uncomfortable climate.

    Bloody sunshinists and their sunshiny agenda. Bussing parish priests all over the place. Something about stuffing things and throats or something.

    The above is an opinion only. Same as my opinion is that it is just as likely that some people will be able to vote twice on referendum day and may in fact do so. With all these late changes to the electoral roll, is having two votes that unlikely an occurence.
