    It would i think be a good idea.There have been MANY excellant posts by yes&no side. tomorrow IMO should be a day for reflection,or walk the beach whilst pondering whats good and bad for our Country.
    even going to the website Lisbontreaty2009 and reading it would be better for undecideds.
    it is a very serious vote on friday and in my humble opinion one day to digest the arguments can do no harm,whatever We do decide lets hope it is a wise decision over time.

    I'll be stressing myself out over it until the booths close on Friday.

    Anyone estimate when we'll have a result?

    I don't think we should! We're not legally obliged to and if we can help more people make up their minds, then great!! :)

    We should stick the string "Vote No" into the profanity filter for the day imo.

    Actually only the broadcast media. The Print media can keep going it they want up to polling day. They generally do not discuss the issue on the day of voting itself though.

    Hi,ya RB if my memory is correct i think last time Radio coverage was calling it a NO vote about midday(on the count day)
    be interesting to see this time when a correspondent/poloticion dares to call it!

    a forum is just people chatting, the media is mass broadcasting to hundreds of thousands. I think its ok if people keep yapping on here tomorrow.

    Exit Polls should give us a fair idea on Friday evening I'd say. As far as a silence goes, evil thrives when good people do nothing so lets keep up the fight against the no side and not get complacent

    Will there be an Exit Poll? There wasn't one for the last Lisbon vote.
