What's with Donegal and voting No? Even when Sinn Féin are behind a Yes they still vote No.

High levels of unemployment means that the working class vote is stronger in DnaG, which is typically anti-government. You also have a natural anti-establishment tendancy, given its proximity to NI.

That's because the chilter, once fostered, are brought back to the HSE West mothership and fostered out to respectable Galway families. This neatly explains why the highest Yes vote in the west was in Galway West.

Perhaps they are as skilled as cutting through Government spin as they are at football, hence the No vote.
