Who is changing sides on October 2nd?

I think it'd be interesting to see which way the swing goes, or if there is one at all, so I'll include a poll. I'm not interested in reasons, just what the general shift is.

Or will I... Doesn't seem to be possible...

If mods can do it, the options were to be:
1) Was yes, now no.
2) Was no, now yes.
3) I'm sticking to my guns.

Poll added. Cheers Gordon.

No last time, No this time

doc holliday · 04-08-2009 5:41pm

no every time

tolosenc · 04-08-2009 5:51pm

I'll add that I'll be sticking to my guns.

What about abstentions? (not that I'll be abstaining)

Just opinion in general...

that's not one of the options, it's 1), 2) or 3). I think we've already had a poll on how people intend to vote, this one is just to see the direction of the swing.

Thanks.

I don't want this to be a yes/no thing at all. This is just out of interest. If you're sticking to your guns, we don't care which way you voted. I don't want reasons for why you changed your mind. That causes silly little arguments which derail otherwise good threads.

I feel this, should it take off, will give us a fairly decent idea of whether or not the thing will swing.

It would have been half interesting if this thread was only replied to by "turncoats," but I see people have come already to show off their loyalty.

For myself - previously No, changed to Yes.

funky penguin · 04-08-2009 7:29pm

Sticking to my guns!

Furious-Dave · 04-08-2009 7:50pm

My guns are drawn and I'll shoot any punk who tries to unstick me from them! :P
So sticking to my guns.

Iwasfrozen · 04-08-2009 7:59pm

Yes before, Yes again.

Gordon · 04-08-2009 8:32pm

Poll added.

ChocolateSauce · 04-08-2009 9:54pm

I'd say sticking to my yes guns, but I might get accused of militarisation.;)

Nice idea for a poll.

FutureTaoiseach · 05-08-2009 6:16am

Sticking to my guns (no).

GhostInTheRuins · 05-08-2009 11:09am

Sticking to my guns here.

Furious-Dave · 05-08-2009 11:48am

*GONE*

WIZE · 05-08-2009 11:52am

Didn't vote last time but will vote yes this time

tolosenc · 05-08-2009 10:56pm

Maybe I should have gone for a public poll. Would be nice to see how many 1 post wonders have partaken.

This is not a yes/no thing. Please leave it out.

It would make the whole exercise futile if people just simply mention they are sticking to their original vote without expressing what it was.Otherwise what would be the essence of the poll statistically.

A measure of the swing perhaps?

It's a bit futile anyway, there's nothing to stop me saying I voted 'no' the last time, and I'm voting 'yes' this time, even if that's not true.

BluntGuy · 06-08-2009 2:53am

I voted "no" last time, for good reasons that were completely disregarded by the government and the EU.

I shall vote "no" again, and simply hope that others do not succumb to the scare-tactics of the media and this government.

gamblor1975 · 09-08-2009 12:11pm

I will be voting Yes again. I think enough people who voted No the last time have had some of their fears removed or have learned enough to not vote no just because they didn't understand what it was about.
