I know that we have one or two UKIP supporters on here. Are you happy that UKIP are in cahoots with Gerry Adams? Complex mechanisms eh?

Really? Is this about Lisbon or something?
I'm not convinced about that 'poll' at all....though I may be falling right into the skeptical Dub category. I'd believe an Irish Times or Irish Independent poll, not a Daily Mail one Ireland is in the pooper right now, and the overriding opinion seems to be, 'Vote yes this time because we'll be screwed without Europe'. Gerry Adams and the UKIP may have a similar take on Lisbon, but I think being in 'cahoots' is pushing it.
Whatever your take on your soveriegnty, we're in too deep to start making demands now
"Dick Roche, Ireland's Europe minister, pointed to the oddity of the referendum alliance between Farage and Gerry Adams of Sinn FÃĐin."
I couldn't pretend to understand the ins and outs, but I just thought it interesting that a distinguished politician such as Adams should be on the same side as Farrago. Or is that the other way around?

I think it's an attempt to taint the No Campaign Crossy, nothing more.

I agree with you Temps. Politics is a dirty business.....but then I am a cynical git.
They're really starting to panic now Aquarius...I have no doubt it'll be a yes vote, especially now Michael O'Leary has joined the yes campaign. He may be an utter twat, but if he's agreeing with it, it must be necessary In a way, I'd love if it was no because to be honest it feels like 'Now now Ireland, you got it wrong the last time, try again and do better this time', school master feel to it. But I doubt it will be.
How do they deal with it in the UK? You guys don't have to have a referendum do you? Or does Gordon Brown say yes/no on behalf of you all?

Oh no! I felt my heart drop when you said it looks like a yes. I agree, its like you're
being treated like norty children. The only consolation is you DO have a vote ~ something
denied us. It's a bit of a worry tho that they seem to be saying "we will keep you
voting till you do what we want". Some democracy huh?

It's only because it involves changes to our constitution. The joy of being a republic, but like you say there's not much point having a vote if you get it wrong The only consolation is they have made some changes to it since last time, so at least it wasn't all in vain.

'Tis difficult Agent Temps. I don't mind belonging to Europe if it in some way acts as a bulwark against USA hegemony. Yet the Americanisation of Europe is underway. I thought that I had seen everything but wasn't prepared for young Germans in MuckyD uniforms with stars and everything.
