Actually it's up to us to stop this from being implented.
So in short, we're doomed.
Wasn't there a poll recently giving 75% to the No?
75%!! No. (To have 75% stating themselves against a European Treaty here would require some it to explicitly state something along the lines of: Ireland to pledge itself to European military alliance while being re-subsumed into Britain...or somesuch.)
The only poll on the matter to which I am aware:
As seems to be established at this stage Ireland will be the only EU state that will vote on the new (or not so new, depending on your perspective) EU Reform Treaty (because of our constitutional provisions as interpreted in Crotty v An Taoiseach).
The opinion poll cited in the previous page also questioned attitudes to the Reform Treaty. Sample 1000, MoE 3%. Pollster: tnsMRBI
In favour: | 25% |
Against: | 12% |
Don't Know/No Opinion: | 62% |
FTR, in the last poll re: the European Constitutional Treaty in March 2005, opinions were recorded as follows (Same pollster, sample and MoE as above):
In favour: | 46% |
Against: | 12% |
Don't Know/No Opinion: | 42% |
