    Well done, it really is.

    But you are so smugly using the argument that somehow an aggregate score is a tie breaker.

    Again, show me your source for this.

    Jesus, is nobody going to tell him? Right... Bob... It's a joke. A piss take. It isn't serious. It exists only in the same world where we have a "1-1 draw," so should obviously have a third referendum. F*ing Christ...

    (edit: What Scofflaw said, only meaner...)

    i will keep linking to the above fact until some people get the facts. fact! :D

    In which he claims it to be a fact, surely he must be called up on it.

    During the run up to the vote if a No voter so much as farted he would demanding sources and citations for it.

    But it is a fact.

    More people voted yes then no in both votes combined, what are you calling him up on?

    There was never going to be a tie breaker. If lets say UK does hold a referendum and gets it through at first attempt, that will be it. Remember this whole process has taken eight years. EU has little energy to be renegotiating the treaty let alone carrying out multiple referendums.
    But on same level, I say most of the country will be wary of ever voting on another European treaty after this. Nice twice Maastrict, Lisbon twice. At some stage you have to say enough is enough.

    I bet that if the situation was reversed - if the combined No side vote was greater than the combined Yes, it would be used by the No side as an excuse for a new referendum.

    well to be honest FG kinda went mad with the job rhetoric. i'm in YFG and i have to admit that. FF was just too vague, Labour was just incompetent to be honest, if we want a summary of the parties.

    I totally disagree. We had a good presence on billboards etc and our posters were the only ones from the Yes parties to think outside the box and the whole 'yes for jobs'. We also did a fair bit of canvassing and I think we pulled above our weight for the campaign. Anyways less of this Yes side bickering, tis over thank God! ;)

    The thing is that we already have that - what we need is to keep an eye on the governments.
