View Full Version : Irish Referendum Vote...

Today, the Irish go to the polls for the second referendum to ratify Europe.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8285849.stm
Personally, I think it is already a done deal, it will be 'Yes' all the way. A powerful campaign by businesses will have seen to dissuade people from voting 'no', and with the application of manufactured economic pressure from businesses, people who would want to vote no will now be seeing that if they did, they would suffer economically even more. Holding principles to uphold freedom and liberty for all may indeed be a noble virtue, but it doesn't pay the bills or feed the kids!
As the article states in the eighth paragraph, Parliament has already ratified the EU without giving a referendum to the people of the UK...if this was not an act of dictatorship, I don't know what is!
hope it's a no, but it will be back again anyways...

I was handing out loads of vote no flyers lastnight on Grafton Street when a guy from fm104 radio asked me why I wanted a No vote. I told him to stop a centralised European fascist federation dictating to Europe and to stop or at least slow down the Illuminati takeover of this Island. Needless to say his face was priceless as he probably never heard of this stuff before but it was nice for me to see the stunned look on his face!

This is the latest news. Seems to be stating of slow.
Ireland goes to the polls on Lisbon Treaty
Friday, 2 October 2009 10:52
More than 3m people are eligible to vote in the Lisbon Treaty referendum today.
Polling stations around Ireland opened at 7am. They will close tonight at 10pm.
Turn out nationwide
In Dublin city there was an average voter turnout of 4.4% by around 10am. The area includes six constiuencies in central Dublin and turnout so far ranged from a high of 6% in Sutton, Dublin North East, to a low of 2.5% in Ballymun, Dublin North West.
Several polling stations in Sligo are reporting a very slow start to voting - just 14 people out of 650 had voted in one booth by 9am in Tubbercurry.
Turnout in Cork city is estimated at around 5% so far.
In Co Kerry, the turnout in urban polling stations in Tralee and Killarney is estimated to be also at 5%.
Enda Kenny, TD, Fine Gael leader, cast his vote at 9.15am in his home town of Castlebar.
Voting is reported to be quiet since booths opened in Castlebar.
The highest turnout so far this morning has been in Offaly in Ferbane with 9% of votes cast. In Tullamore town 5% have voted.
In Longford town there has been a voter turnout of 6%, while in Granard 3.5% have voted.
People who have not received their polling cards are still entitled to vote once their name is on the electoral register and they have proof of identity.
Every person over 18, who is an Irish citizen and is on the Register of Electors can vote. (Check the register)
When a person goes to the polling station today they will be given one ballot paper and asked whether or not they approve of the proposal to amend the Constitution to ratify the Treaty of Lisbon. (Read the Treaty in English or Irish)
If voters approve of the proposal, they should mark X in the square beside Tá/Yes on the ballot paper, if they do not approve they should mark X in the square beside Nil/No.
If a voter has not received a polling card they should bring valid forms of identification, such as a passport, a driving licence, or an employee or student photo identity card, to the polling station.
Counting of votes will begin at 9am tomorrow morning.

I think that one reason that people vote "yes" is because the word "yes" is POSITIVE, and the word "no" is NEGATIVE. I have noticed that the referendum questions seem to be worded in such a way that the the "yes" option always favours what the PTB want. Psychology.
Anyway this should be enough to get the Irish people to vote "No" :-

Once upon a time, there was a farmer in the central region of China. He didn't have a lot of money and, instead of a tractor, he used an old horse to plow his field. One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse dropped dead. Everyone in the village said, "Oh, what a horrible thing to happen." The farmer said simply, "We'll see." He was so at peace and so calm, that everyone in the village got together and, admiring his attitude, gave him a new horse as a gift.
Everyone's reaction now was, "What a lucky man." And the farmer said, "We'll see."
A couple days later, the new horse jumped a fence and ran away. Everyone in the village shook their heads and said, "What a poor fellow!"The farmer smiled and said, "We'll see."
Eventually, the horse found his way home, and everyone again said, "What a fortunate man." The farmer said, "We'll see."
Later in the year, the farmer's young boy went out riding on the horse and fell and broke his leg. Everyone in the village said, "What a shame for the poor boy."The farmer said, "We'll see."
Two days later, the army came into the village to draft new recruits. When they saw that the farmer's son had a broken leg, they decided not to recruit him.Everyone said, "What a fortunate young man."The farmer smiled again - and said "We'll see."

No they dont use them. It ballot boxes. And they are all watched by the no side.
Cóir says its volunteers will carefully monitor polling on Friday – exit poll also to be arranged.
Cóir has said that its volunteers are making preparations to carefully monitor the second vote on the Lisbon Treaty referendum which will take place on Friday.
It has written to the Referendum Commission and the Department of the Environment outlining the actions that will be undertaken by Cóir members and supporters on Friday to ensure that every vote cast in the referendum is correctly accounted for and that the second vote on the treaty is absolutely free, fair and transparent.
On Friday, October 2nd, Cóir volunteers will visit every polling station in the country at the end of the day’s polling. They will count the number of polling boxes and confirm the number of votes cast in each polling station with the Returning Officer. Those totals will be checked against the total of votes counted the next day in each count centre. Cóir will also ensure that the seal on each polling box will only be broken before witnesses at the outset of the count the next day.
Cóir spokesman Richard Greene said that the measure was a “simple, yet 100% effective, means of ensuring the referendum process was free of any error or interference”. He added that the undemocratic nature of forcing the Irish people to vote again on the Lisbon Treaty has prompted many concerned calls to the Cóir office regarding the security of the vote.
“We’ve seen a shocking disregard for the spirit, not only of SIPO legislation, but of the McKenna and Coughlan judgments, during this referendum,” said Mr Greene. “Millions are being spent by Yes campaigners and no-one is asking where it came from. The requirement for equal airtime for Yes and No campaigners has been set aside, and the EU Commission is funding Yes propaganda. It doesn’t inspire confidence.”
Mr Greene said that Cóir’s canvass on the ground was showing that the treaty could be rejected. “We’re taking these actions on Friday to ensure that how people actually vote is reflected in the result,” he said.
Please call Cóir on 01 8746858 to volunteer for monitoring – we need a co-ordinated and effective effort

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/1002/breaking1.htm
"Turnout was reported to be“very low” in Cork city and county, averaging about 5 per cent earlier. Voting in Limerick was also said to be low, with turnout running at between 4 per cent and 9 per cent by mid-morning."
"Counting of votes will begin tomorrow at 9am and the official result is expected in the early evening."
"Over three million people are entitled to vote in the referendum."

I was hanging around online, as usual (note to self, get a life) and I thought I'd visit Jim Corr's site to see if there was anything about the vote on 'the day'....
I thought I'd vote in the online poll: "how would you vote on the Lisbon Treaty 2nd time".
Of course, I voted NO.
Here are the figures at 1555 today (1655 English time):
http://www.jimcorr.com/index.php?option=com_poll&id=18:how-would-you-vote-on-the-lisbon-treaty-this-time-around
Whilst the numbers of voters aren't great - but it's a bit of +ve input in these trying times.
Love to all who are voting today - and to everyone else who wants to see the return of compassionate humanity on this planet.

If you look down the right hand side of the page here (http://www.irishtimes.com/indepth/lisbon2009/) at the Latest TNS mrbi poll, select May 29, it shows a 54% NO.
In 6 months we are to believe such a sea-change?

IMO this will be a NO vote or I'll eat my hat....as I haven't had a hat for donkey's years I don't intend to start wearing or eating one now!!
Even if the vote is 'yes' - which will be a fix, this isn't the end for TRUTH AND COMPASSIONATE JUSTICE - it's the beginning of the end for 'them'.
Do not despair whatever happens.
YOU AND I KNOW THAT TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!!! and everything that 'they' throw at us only wakes more of us up to how we've all been H A D.
Love and peace to all - including 'them'!

Yes I kind of got the same feeling but then I was thinking on the way home that more people would got out to vote no rather than yes.
And from your words

Voting slow in Lisbon referendum
Friday, 2 October 2009 17:24
Turnout is reported to be low in some parts of Ireland as voting takes place in the second Referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
More than 3m people are eligible to vote in the referendum.
Polling stations around Ireland opened at 7am and will close tonight at 10pm.
Turnout is reported to be high in Dublin but voting is said to be slow in other parts of the country, especially compared to last year's vote.
Many polling stations are expecting a late surge this evening before polls close.
Among the first to vote was President Mary McAleese, who cast her ballot in St Mary's Hospital in the Phoenix Park.
The Taoiseach, joined by his wife Mary, cast his vote at Mucklagh National School Co Offaly this morning. There were a number of members of national and international press present.
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny cast his vote at 9.15am in his home town of Castlebar, while Labour leader Eamon Gilmore cast his ballot in Scoil Mhuire on Shanganagh Road in Shankill.
Sinn Féin's Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin cast his vote at St Patrick's Hall in Monaghan town this morning.
Socialist Party MEP for Dublin Joe Higgins was in Huntstown School in Mulhuddart, while Libertas leader Declan Ganley, accompanied by his family, cast his ballot at Brierfield National School in Tuam in Co Galway.
Presiding officers say voting is slower so far than the last referendum, a situation not helped by early morning rain.
Some people expressed concerns that they had thrown out their voting cards believing them to be referendum literature, because they arrived in booklet form this year.
People who have not received their polling cards are still entitled to vote once their name is on the electoral register and they have proof of identity.
Every Irish citizen who is over 18 and on the Register of Electors can vote. (Check the register)
When a person goes to the polling station today they will be given one ballot paper and asked whether or not they approve of the proposal to amend the Constitution to ratify the Treaty of Lisbon. (Read the Treaty in English or Irish)
If voters approve of the proposal, they should mark X in the square beside Tá/Yes on the ballot paper, if they do not approve they should mark X in the square beside Níl/No.
If a voter has not received a polling card they should bring valid forms of identification, such as a passport, a driving licence, or an employee or student photo identity card, to the polling station.
Counting of votes will begin at 9am tomorrow.

I caught a piece about the referendum yesterday on the beeb. In true, non-partisan, beeb fashion, it was set against a footage of unfinished housing projects and tumbleweed. The message: citizens, 'if you don't vote the way you should for the new world, you'll join the third world'. That alone would get me in the booth. I fucking detest the beeb as much as Blair.
Maybe after a few pints tonight, the real Ireland will turn out and chase away the hounds of hell as well as the hair of the dog. I really hope so.

If the vote count starts only tomorrow morning this means they will have the whole night to rig the results and make the results be as they like, i.e. make the YES the winner so the Lisbon Treaty can be ratified. I bet there will be some cheating.

I think this is part of a cycle which has to be played out. We're going to have to lose our freedom and descend into tyranny and it's just going to have to get very bad before we take it back. Because people are stupid and lazy.
The good news is, most people are also decent and do want to be free. They just don't understand who their enemies really are as they haven't fully revealed themselves yet. But they will.
In a way, most of the people who hang out on this site are the elite vanguard who are brave enough to admit to themselves what is going on and brave enough to step outside of the illusion and the bullshit. One day soon hopefully we won't be in the minority.
But for now, Europe has fallen to the enemy, and we should begin preparing for the fight.

There is NO WAY there would be that much of a swing, on a low voter turn out, in just 15 months, especially given the confirmation of a NO vote just a few months ago in that poll decim posted earlier.
Someone is seriously pulling some testicles.
Has anyone considered the bookies are also 'cooking the books' to entice the punters to place money on and around the 60-65% 'bet', knowing that a NO vote would see them rolling in clover?

If the yes vote ends up "winning", then the people in favour of the "no" vote should demand ANOTHER referendum just like the pro-lisbon traitors did. The best of 3.
Or even better, there should be non-cooperation with the system until these traitors are removed.

Thanks for the link Griswald which I tuned to - however, whether it's just propaganda, or the reality - I simply can't listen to all the "huge swings" to YES....
IMO, if it's yes, it's not the end, but the end of the BEGINNING....
If Bliar is installed as prez, well, we'll just have to see how unpopular that'll be with ALL sections of society...
I'm now wondering that as we haven't all 'caved in' to the swine flu scam and even bigger vaccination scam, is Bliar the tool with which 'they' will finally attempt their final police state lockdown here in the UK - it's not far off considering the awful treatment of INNOCENT people going about their business here:

From what I hear from them many still have lots of reservations but at the
end of the day the central bank is where the country gets the money from
and people have been brainwashed with the 'Europe For Jobs' campaign.
People in Ireland think about it this this way: yes will encourage investment and
more money from the central bank which may provide jobs and give them
money to put food on the table - simple as.

I really do believe there is a big awakening happening Fransetter however, perhaps with all the planned distractions like Iran; Swine flu scams; global warming; "natural disasters" etc etc, people can't concentrate their minds onto the facts and just get carried along on what euphoria there is. I bet the EU lackies of rich banksters are peeing in their pants with joy.

Remember: this is not the end - IT'S THE END OF THE BEGINNING....
You did all you can and you are to be commended for that. Ateotd, each one of us doing what we can do is the BEST we can do.....but it takes an awakened soul to know that and you/me/we can't "show them the matrix, we can only show them the door"

In my heart I know that whilst Bliar might be 'installed' as prez, it won't be plain sailing by any stretch. Meanwhile, I share in your frustrations but the real solution is within each one of us - and if you can save just one thing, make sure it's your soul, so that if anyone else needs help to save theirs, we can help them but at least we're working in cahoots with the Natural Order of the Universe which, imo, is what we should ALL be doing.
At least we know what the agenda is....in time, those who voted 'yes' will realise what's happened and wake up.... Meanwhile, here's a nice little video about 'their' plans to rule the world which at least, made me smile!:

Hmm...as the saying goes, there's a "method to their madness" :)...the reason, imho, they seem to be focussing their attention on the so-called "western societies" now, is co's, they're desperately trying to get the EU officially "up & running", with a "permanent" president in place...
Only then, can the rest of the American Union, African Union and the rest be officially recognised...otherwise, if for instance, the American Union, African Union or whatever union were offically established, before the EU Union, including a permanent president, then that Union, legally & officially, is the leading or dominent Union...meaning, even the EU Union would have to take it's orders from that Union & it's president...
So you see, the American, African and whatever unions there are, are simply awaiting the official installation of the EU Union...in which case, the NWO will be official...
Otherwise, to me anyway, the NWO is merely a re-cycling of past ideologies & philosophies...the only difference is, bigger and better (technological) tools at their disposal...and of-course, a wider net of the global community...unfortunately. :(

The NWO concept isn't the problem.

wicked this way is coming... hiding the fact that it has been here all along..."
Ergo, it's already here but needs to be maintained by being locked-down further and all the rumours about a 'nwo' are quite possibly part of a DDT aka "distract, detract, trash" modus operandi.

I,m having the same realisation today. There are awakened in society, and sheeple. Now have the awakened always realised throughout their life that something doesn,t gel together in the scheme of things. Thats the way I always was. And then there are the sheeple. They were born sheeple from day one.
Question is, can the sheeple ever be awakened. I,m starting to think maybe they cannot. I,d be interested to know what percentage of the awakened here, were originally sheeple. If a good percentage of the awakened were originally sheeple, then there is hope for us. If a small percentage of the awakened were sheeple, then the awakened are now on their own.
I dont view the Lisbon yes vote as the end, I,m on the same frequency as sukyspook, its only the beginning. Lisbon 2 was only a battle, the war is still there for the winning;)

Klaus may be final roadblock for Lisbon
As the Irish are set to approve the treaty, Europe looks to a still-defiant president
President Václav Klaus has long opposed the Lisbon Treaty, calling the European Union the biggest threat to Czech sovereignty.
While the eyes of Europe are on Ireland, which votes on the Lisbon Treaty Oct. 2, the glares are increasingly directed at Prague.
A group of senators from the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) filed a challenge to Lisbon Sept. 29 in the Constitutional Court in what Europe sees as the latest Czech move to derail the controversial treaty, which seeks to streamline decision-making processes at the European Union level. And, while these senators, led by Jiří Oberfalzer, are getting some attention, the man increasingly attracting both domestic and international scrutiny is President Václav Klaus.
"There is the perception that it is not the Czech Republic holding it up, but [rather] the Czech president," said Piotr Maciej Kaczyński with the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels.
Twenty-four of 27 member states have already ratified the Lisbon Treaty, and a Sept. 25 poll found the number of undecided Irish voters shrinking, with 48 percent supporting Lisbon and 33 percent opposed. German President Horst Köhler signed the treaty for his country Sept. 23. Polish President Lech Kaczyński has pledged to sign if the Irish vote "Yes."
Klaus says he is holding his signature until the Constitutional Court makes a ruling on Oberfalzer's challenge.
"Ignoring the challenge would be to release them of their rights," Klaus wrote in a letter explaining his delay.
Oberfalzer's challenge was filed Sept. 29, but the ODS group says it will add specifics in the coming days.
"The request is going to include passages that were not included in the last challenge," Oberfalzer said on Czech Television Sept. 27, referring to a ruling by the Constitutional Court in November 2008 that said the treaty was within the law.
As it increasingly seems the Czech Republic will be the last to make a decision on Lisbon, some are looking for ways to pressure Klaus into signing.
"What kind of legitimacy does he have?" the analyst Kaczyński said. "He isn't elected. He is supposed to be a figurehead. There is a lack of understanding abroad of what is going on in a democratic sense."
Here in the Czech Republic, several legal experts have proposed means to force Klaus into signing. One recent idea went as far as putting Klaus before the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Another idea is to file a lawsuit against Klaus for inactivity based on his failure to sign a European social charter dating from four years ago, and use a ruling from this as a pretext to push Klaus to sign Lisbon. However, the Czech Constitution does not set a time limit on when a president must sign something passed by Parliament.
"There are some legal experts who have proposed the government go down such a path," said European Affairs Minister Štefan Füle. "However, I said at the last Cabinet meeting that I saw no need for such a course at this moment."
Others have proposed to cut the budget to the president's office or limit Klaus' foreign travel.
After spending recent days with Pope Benedict XVI, the pressure began mounting on Klaus from all sides. In an interview with The Washington Times Sept. 21, Klaus, playing down the recent U.S. decision to step back from a radar base in the Czech Republic, called the EU the biggest threat to Czech sovereignty.
"It is mainly the obstructive behavior of ODS leaders and its political allies over the Lisbon Treaty that threaten the national interest of the Czech Republic, including a strong and effective EU," said Social Democratic Party (ČSSD) Chairman Jiří Paroubek.
Prime Minister Jan Fischer is pushing to ratify the Lisbon Treaty by the year's end.
"Groundless postponement of the completion of the ratification process would have a negative impact on the position and influence of the Czech Republic in the European Union. The government has been exerting maximum effort to meet our political responsibility," he wrote in a letter to Senate Deputy Chairwoman Alena Gajdůšková.
Further adding to the European-wide hysteria surrounding the treaty was news Sept. 23 of a letter from UK Conservative Party leader David Cameron urging Klaus to delay signing Lisbon so that, if his party is elected next year, as is widely expected, he could call a referendum in the United Kingdom next year.
"There still is not so much pressure on the Czechs, as everyone is still waiting on Ireland," the analyst Kaczyński says. "But then it will be down to the Czech Republic."

If a good percentage of the awakened were originally sheeple, then there is hope for us. If a small percentage of the awakened were sheeple, then the awakened are now on their own.

I simply cannot believe that many Irish would vote away their freedom just for a job.
They are becoming willing slaves, surrendering their country's independence - and KNOW they are doing it.
They know that the President of the EU will be an unelected position that they cannot hold accountable, yet vote for it anyway, and have been asked to "vote" repeatedly on the same issue to "get the right result".
Where's the outrage at a nation being treated like children? Why isn't Europe rising up as one to tell the political elites that they won't take this anymore?
My first instinct is to say that this vote is rigged six ways from Sunday, only because the alternative (that they are ushering in an imperial regime willingly) is too depressing to contemplate.
Today was the day that the Irish Republic died, and became the Irish Democracy...and soon even that will be lost as it is subsumed into the European Empire.
Edit: I think this shows why we don't need democracy as a form of government, and why it is being so heavily promoted by TPTB. Think how many times you've heard that word come out of the mouths of politicians. They want easily swayed tyrannies of the majority to serve their aims. We need a global declaration of independence from these failing systems run by elites.

Czech senators not to withdraw complaint after Irish yes
Prague - Czech senators will not withdraw their complaint against the Lisbon treaty that they lodged with the Constitutional Court after the Irish yes, senator Jiri Oberfalzer (Civic Democrats (ODS), one of the complainants, said today.
We have not filed it (complaint) over Ireland, but over the Czech Republic," Oberfalzer told CTK by phone, in reaction to the information that the Irish approved the EU reform treaty in a repeated referendum on Friday.
According to pro-Lisbon politicians, the withdrawal of the constitutional complaint would enable to complete the ratification process in the Czech Republic as quickly as possible.
Both houses of Czech parliament passed the Lisbon treaty, but President Vaclav Klaus has not yet signed it. He said he would wait for the Constitutional Court's decision on the new complaint.
A group of senators, mainly from the right-wing Civic Democrats (ODS), on Tuesday lodged their proposal for further examination whether the Lisbon treaty complies with the constitution with the Constitutional Court.
Court chairman Rychetsky was assigned as a judge-rapporteur to the case on Wednesday. He said the court would starts handling the complaint within a month.
The court has already sent copies of the complaint to Klaus, the interim government of Jan Fischer, and the lower and upper houses of parliament, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. Their response is expected within two weeks, Rychetsky said.
The Czech Republic and Poland would be the last EU member states not to have completed the ratification as their presidents have not yet signed it. However, Polish President Lech Kaczynski has repeatedly said that he will sign the Lisbon treaty immediately after the Irish yes.
The Lisbon treaty should be ratified by all 27 EU member states. If the Lisbon treaty did not take effect, the EU would have to continue to function according to the Nice treaty.

I think it proves that democracy as a system of government will ultimately fail the country every time - as a majority has today voted away a minority's freedom.
I cant beleive that after voting no, and getting told that that wasn't right , you have to vote again that that didn't get their backs up. If that was me, i'd vote no again out of principle. Fucking idiots!!!!

Lisbon Treaty set to be passed by decisive majority
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/1003/breaking1.htm
Taoiseach Brian Cowen said the Lisbon Treaty will be carried decisively with just two of the 43 constituencies expected to reject it.
With counting complete in 38 constituencies only two have rejected the treaty. Based on results so far, the Yes side has 66.8 per cent of the vote reflecting a 20 per cent swing. This compares to 53 per cent for the No side in the 2008 referendum.
The turnout is estimated at around 58.8 per cent.
Speaking at a press conference at Leinster House in Dublin this afternoon Mr Cowen said credit for the result rested with the Irish people who had shown a determination to be at the centre of Europe.
“We will now work with all our partners in ensuring the reforms this treaty will bring are implemented. The Irish people have supported reforms so that the EU can become efficient and more effective in dealing with the global concerns we all face”.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he saw the Yes vote as a sign of confidence by the Irish electorate in the European Union and as a “sign that Ireland recognises the role that the European Union has played in responding to the economic crisis”.
Tipperary South became the first constituency to declare a result just before 1pm with a resounding majority in favour of the treaty.
This was quickly followed by Yes majorities in Kildare North, Sligo/North Leitrim, Sligo/Monaghan, Clare, Tipperary North and Waterford and in nine of the 12 Dublin constituencies.
The only two to reject the treaty so far are Donegal North East and Donegal South West, the latter by a narrow margin of 50.3 per cent. Both Donegal constituencies rejected the treaty last year.
No campaigners conceded defeat within hours of ballot boxes being opened at 9am as the extent of the move in favour of the treaty became apparent.
Libertas leader Declan Ganley told reporters at the main Dublin counting centre this morning the result was “a very convincing win".
"I'm surprised how big the 'Yes' vote is and it shows how scared people are. This is a very convincing win. It's a mandate of sorts. I wish him [Taoiseach Brian Cowen] the best of luck."
Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin said he was delighted. "It looks like a convincing win for the Yes side on this occasion." He said the guarantees secured by the Government had played a crucial role.
"We are in a very difficult economic position and this is an essential first step towards economic recovery," Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan added.
However, Sinn Fein vice-president and anti-Lisbon campaigner Mary Lou McDonald said the vote should not be seen as an indication of support for the Government parties. "This vote does not mean that the Government has a mandate for Nama or the upcoming budget and let them not think that or fall into that false sense of security. People still want change."
“Work must now continue on repairing the Irish banking system and bringing order to the public finances.” Prominent Yes campaigner Pat Cox, a former president of the European Parliament, also claimed the voters of Ireland put their country first.
Mr Cox, who headed the Ireland for Europe campaign group, said: “This was a mature vote in which the Irish people rejected those voices telling them to make the referendum a verdict on the government and on national policies.
Dublin South has recorded the highest support for the treaty so far with 82 per cent of ballots in favour. This was closely followed by the result from Dun Laoghaire which was 81 per cent Yes. This represents a 17.7 per cent swing to the Yes side.
Speaking at the count centre at the University of Limerick Sports Arena this afternoon Minister for Defence and Limerick East TD, Willie O'Dea TD, said the referendum would not have been carried without the support of Opposition parties.
“It was a big hurdle in the way of the Government and certainly it would have had devastating consequences for the Government had the referendum been turned down a second time,” said Mr O’Dea. His constituency rejected the treaty in 2008 but passed it today with 67 per cent in favour.
Jerzy Buzek, president of the European Parliament said the vote was "good news for Ireland and good news for Europe." "But it is not the end of the story.
Now we must start to work to overcome the difficulties." "Our citizens are afraid of the energy issue, the unemployment rate, about immigration, demography and we can do that together, as it was before, also in the future, in solidarity."
"We should also think about those who were answering 'No' because it is our habit and it is our custom to think about all Europeans. I can assure (you) I will work very hard and do feel that it is our common Europe. Let us write our common European history."

Ah look, anyone who's been around for the last 10 years and still believe what their governments tell them (no matter how much money they spend on advertisement) is a moron by any standards. Surely even the spectre of Tony Blair on the horizon should have been enough to put them off, but oooh no!
It's just a shame that the awakened minority have to suffer as well.
What is even more depressing is the 41% who didn't seem to care either way ! I can understand it in an election when you have no choice but to vote for a puppet, but when the independence of your country is at stake with a simple yes or no answer is quite beyond me? We really are living in village of the damned.

I believe every dirty trick in the book was used to secure a YES vote this time around. We had to deal with the full force of a heavily biased Irish media propaganda machine, not to mention massive funding for the Yes side which trumped the NO side by at least 10 to 1 in financial support.
I want to thank all the no voters and campaigners who genuinely love their country and who fought this treaty with everything they had.
We can now hope that the President of the Czech republic, Vaclav Klaus, will hold back Czech ratification of the Treaty until the constitutional challenge that has been launched there is completed.

On further thought, for all Klaus's bravery I still think we are screwed. The way I see it is Cameron won't rule out a referendum because he doesn't want to damage his election chances. It might even tip the whole general election to UKIP on just one major issue if he refused a referendum promise. After he gets in he will do a bullshit referendum on just a couple of issues, but not the whole treaty like the Irish had. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I just don't trust Cameron. Anything but a promise on an unequivocal referendum and you just know what's coming. And the 'not ruling anything out if the treaty is already ratified by the time I gets in' is just more pre-election porkies. I'm going to pound the streets for UKIP and campaign like I never campaigned before at the next election.

Post-election yes. We'll see how much he's pressured before the election on what he is going to promise. I'm going to stick my neck on the line now. He won't offer an unequivocal promise on an unequivocal referendum even if the treaty hasn't already been ratrified because he is Owned.
And what's with the rubbish they might start filling E.U. Council positions now anyway? :confused:

Promise/no promise it means NOTHING coming from these ppl any more (if it ever did)

Generally speaking I completely agree with you, but he'd have to on something like this if he unequivocally promised it, which is exactly why he won't unequivocally promise it in my view. We will see soon enough. All happening so fast now.

We did our best here in Eire on the NO side. I'm sorry they've duped/bullied/threatened so many people. There could have easily been rigging and dirty tricks too.
B. Cowen (prime minister) was gloating all to quickly today. Sad bastard.
He can lose the next general election now, no problem, just keep being a fat cat Eurocrat afterwards. Job done. Ireland handed over for a cheap promise of some jobs. Don't hold your breath there in the dole Q.
Ireland will live-on in her people.
(The "yes" side have opted-out of this of course).
I think we would be fooling ourselves to think that another NO would have stopped them completely. They would have kept up the bullying until it passed.
I still say NO to anything that comes from the EU now and have every intention of opposing them at any opportunity. Those of us who opposed them in this "referendum" will not give up.
Yes democracy is a joke, but it was always the elite's tool, not ours.
Fight them wherever you are, refuse, resist, demonstrate, boycott, take to the streets, speak-up, and don't let them tell you who you are.

Frase, your avatar is very correct; Mr. Cameron has re-affirmed his stance of not pushing for a U.K referendum on the Lisbon Treaty to take place.
Even if you're for the treaty, you should be disgusted that politicians are taking your choice to vote on something so important away from you.

"But David Cameron will not be able to play that game. The point of Lisbon is to put an end to tedious tinkering at the EU decision-making process, so Europe can start making decisions. Other powerful leaders, Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy, will have no patience for a British counterpart who turns up spoiling for a fight."
"spoiling for a fight" is an understatement, i think the election in 2010 is up for grabs. cameron and brown are to weak to even say no to blair and his european empire.

Why are some of you talking about Cameron and UKIP and a possible referendum in this country, go look at the E.U.Treaty, it says UK Parliment to be dissolved by May 2010, so there will be no referendum or even another General Election in this god forsaken cess-pit.
Expect President Blair by the end of October and Turkish troops marching you off for your FORCED Swine Flu Injection.

What is wrong with you.....??? Have you misunderstood me... ?
As said I have voted NO and thats all I can do? I actually fell out
with some family and friends trying to get them to vote NO !
I am just saying WHY 67% of people voted yes - from talking to yes voters..
I'm in the 33% and I can can hold my head up high that I did the right thing
and voted NO !
All I am saying to dont label all us Irish as the same!

Ah look, anyone who's been around for the last 10 years and still believe what their governments tell them (no matter how much money they spend on advertisement) is a moron by any standards. Surely even the spectre of Tony Blair on the horizon should have been enough to put them off, but oooh no!
Totally agree with this but do take into account that the Blair for president
was kept hush in the Irish media. I rang my sister yesterday to tell her and
she laughed me off saying I was some conspiracy theorist. I told about 10
people at work and none of them were aware of this and looked at me as if
I was mad.
Isnt it a bit suspicious tho that the first time it appeared on sky news last night
was 10 0 clock - the very time when the polling booths closed? To me
thats smells of corruption? anyone agree? By the way - my sister rang me later
that night after seeing sky news and went 'fcuk you were right, what have I done!'
I tried to argue that even the fact Blair could get EU president when he
should be up in front of a court for war crimes - what does that say about
the EU .....?
It's just a shame that the awakened minority have to suffer as well.
Thanks ! Even though im dissapointed today i am one of the 33% that voted
NO and I can always tell my kids I done what I could
What is even more depressing is the 41% who didn't seem to care either way ! I can understand it in an election when you have no choice but to vote for a puppet, but when the independence of your country is at stake with a simple yes or no answer is quite beyond me? We really are living in village of the damned.
Again totally agree..... something they will really regret when they become
part of a police state and a microchipped population where you wont be
able to fart without it showing up on a computer somewhere !

During all the debates im still very shocked that the Irish people would
not listen up to what these people had to say but yet believed a group
of liars and bullshitters like Cowan, Enda Kenny, Minister Martin, Michale
O Leary , etc.

I think this quote is apt:
An image may only be challenged by another image, particularly by an image of creation, capable of inspiring millions of people(emphasis added)
http://www.ringingcedarsofrussia.org/theearth/ringing-cedars-newspaper-interview-vladimir-megre-part2-2008-oct.html#n1
An image can only be defeated by a more powerful image. Opposing their ideas (images) does not constitute offering a more powerful image.
Anastasia did indeed create such an image as a counterbalance to the armadas of the destroyers. Hundreds of thousands of people have internalized the image of a real future Anastasia has offered, the future of a beautiful country and in turn a beautiful planet Earth. And they have added their own ideas to it, and have begun to turn it into reality, to build what she has called their Kin's Estates, their Family Domains or Spaces of Love. (ibid)
