    On the poll, the 2nd "Neutrallity Issue" should be "East European countries soaking up most of the EU grants"

    Don't know what happened while i was creating it.

    Indeed. I am actually getting unbelievably sick of Nice now. I'll let this one go (no offence to your thread PH01 :) ) cause I've got enough to mod at the moment, and I just don't care.

    Spam away lads*

    1. Ireland isn't getting any more money from the EU so I'm voting 'NO'!
    2. If there is a 'Yes' vote, Ireland will be flooded with immigrants!
    3. Irish troops part of a EU Army? 'No' thanks!
    4. Say 'No' to the EU applicants
    5. I'm voting 'No', because the government is asking me for a 'Yes' vote.

    I'm also sick of this Nice debate thing. I'll be voting Yes, I believe it'll be passed by a large margin, so I'll not engage in any more debate...

    But I will sign off on the most compelling reason to Vote YES (received in an email during the week):

    Why settle for Sinead: 26, from Drumshambo, Leitrim. 32a, 36, 28
    <Picture of Sinead>
    When you could have Petra: 26, from Tallinn, Estonia. 34c, 28, 36
    <Picture of Petra>

    SO, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO ON OCTOBER 19.

    The case, as they say, is made.

    Oh good ReefBreak, you've moved on from calling the entire No side stupid (just like most of the Eurocrats) to "I fancy Ms Estonia".

    I don't know how the vote will go, I do know that I have to vote my concience and vote for what I think is best for Ireland, that is my duty as a citizen of this nation and I intend to carry it out to the best of my ability, that means trying to convince Yes voters and undecided voters to vote against the Treaty, because that is what I believe in. I will be arguing this right up to balloting and probably after balloting too, because I think this vote is too important to simply let it lie and I find the notion that the so called Yes side thinks the topic too boring is frankley indicative of the entire arrogant and presumptious brovado, that lost the last Referendum for the Yes side.

    So nothing about the Treaty has changed and nothing about the arrogant attitude of the Yes campaign has changed, I hope for the sake of Irish soveringty, uniqueness and democracy that the Nice Treaty is defeated again and the people's decision is respected and acted upon.

    Regards
    Typedef.
