    That wouldn't be respecting or disrespecting the vote but given that there wouldn't be sufficient reason for a third referendum, should the count tomorrow actually yield a Yes result, such a proposition would merely be retarded.

    Sure. As soon as the government of the day wants another referendum, I'll happily go and vote, and won't whine about it not being democratic.

    Plus, the votes haven't even been counted yet, so you're a little ahead of yourself. Might be a surprise yet.

    ok well we will run a poll showing the vast majority didnt understand the treaty again so the reason would be just as sufficient as the first re-run

    You should probably stick to building bridges tbh, political discussion really doesn't seem to be your thing.

    That would require people on the Yes side actually not understanding what they were voting on, which I've personally yet to witness.

    Unless by "run" you're suggesting the Government made it up last time, and that we should "do so" again this time. In which case, off to the Conspiracy Theory forum with you.

    No problem with that. Go for it! Maybe Declan will give you some cash towards it? Then of course, the government would have to propose it...assuming they do - let's go for it.

    Maybe we can wait until the ballot boxes have been opened before calling this? Sure, it does look ominous for the No side, but the traitors havent won yet.

    Traitors to Ireland! Or Democracy. Or 1916, or whatever the current most emotive thing is. Heck, let's go with all of the above!

    It's only democratic if "imeddyhobbs", the bridge construction worker, says it's democratic.

    No. It is only over when we give the right answer. If indeed the result tomorrow is a Yes vote, it is over. If we vote No, we will be voting once again. No doubt about that what so ever.

    Is that democracy?

    Yes, it is, but it's completely lost on you.

    There's never going to be another referendum on Europe again anyway.

    Very amusing.

    Yes, those who voted in favour of a good treaty for Ireland and Europe are the traitors, not the ones trying to lead Ireland into a very bad position within the EU, flanked by a bunch of lunatic organisations such as Coir.

    They really are the traitors, well done, you've clearly shown your understanding of the situation (i.e sweet fuck all) and hopefully, for the good of democracy you either didn't vote or in some way spoiled it.

    Odd, the impression I was getting was that you cared a lot about the slavs. Specifically, about them not voting, be they citizens or not.

    Let me get this straight, if we vote No and are forced to vote again, thats democratic? But if we vote Yes there should definitely be no re-run of Lisbon?
