The only thing that I don't get about this second Lisbon vote thing on Friday is how many people are taking it seriously. This is an absolute sham. It makes a mockery out of everything democracy is meant to stand for. Surely if a Yes decision is made on Friday we need to wait another year and have a final vote to see which decision gets two out of three?
I made no secret nor apology that I voted Yes last year, and if I went back in time and had to vote again, then I would most definitely be voting yes. Friday isn't going back in time and doing it again however. Friday is proof of why nothing you say or do really matters in Ireland.
Those who flip from a No to a Yes this time around are acknowledging that they were fucking idiots last year, with their heads totally stuck up their own arseholes. They are cowards and greedy cretins who want to shelter under the economic umbrella of the Union, now that Mr. Recession is biting at their bottoms! Idiots like Glenda Gilson and Eamon Dunphy are voting yes because "Well, things are tough now so lets vote yes to beat the recession!" What!? That's as crazy as what the No side were saying last year! Like that Ben Dunne with his "Don't know; vote no" shite. How about this for a slogan "Ben Dunne... full up on coke and hanging from a balcony somewhere in America."
If a Yes decision is made on Friday, Ireland's stance within Europe is made clear: We only want to be part of Europe if we are getting the treasures, and and only want to give something back if we are getting even more treasures: We are weak minded and easy to frighten: We are fickle and not to be trusted.
That's why I'm not voting on Friday. I'm not sure if I will abstain completely or just spoil my vote. I voted once already, they can count that fucking thing if they like. You got your answer and the answer was NO! The treaty has not been changed. The amount of money that's been wasted on this second Lisbon shite... we shouldn't have even had to vote on the first one! Fucking plastic democracy fooling the people!
If Sweden had to vote on Lisbon this Friday, this unrelated song by Swede, Joakim Widell, sums up how it would turn out. There's a subtle hint in there... or is there? Eitherway, it's my official unofficial tune for the proceedings.
So go out there and draw a picture of Mary Coughlan's arse on your ballot sheet. Give Willie O'Dea a big micky, or take the wig off Brian Lehihan. Be creative, do whatever you want, just don't vote in this abomination. Say "Fuck Off" to the Lisbon debate. Cheers!

mmm I never thought about deliberately spoiling my vote...think of all the fun I could have with FG...I'm thinking of drawing Enda Kenny rimming a seal! I voted no and will prob again...if I doing a u-turn and become one of those "fucking idiots" with me head up my arse it will be more to do with just fucking with the no side rather that recession based...
You're right though...having to vote twice is ridiculous and undemocratic...will we have to vote twice in a general election if the vote doesn't go the governments way the first time?
If you think its bullshit Vote No.
It probably doesn't matter cuase they will find a way to do wahtever they want but don;t give them the satisfaction of Yes winning. Imagine Cowen's fat happy face on friday if they get the Yes.

I do understand you, absolutely.
You are consulted twice (and more, for sure, if you don't give the "correct" answer). I've not been consulted, despite what was promised to me, to all the other 9 million, 900 thousand Portuguese people.
So, I dare to ask you to vote No for me this time, please. It seems to me a fair request, sir. What do you think?
Apropos:

Turning our backs is not a solution.
We are in Europe and we must fight for what we believe is better (for us, for our future, for our children).
And worse than having a stupid debate is having no debate at all. So the EU doesn't really care about what we think or need. That's why in most countries there has been no referendum at all. That's why they are telling the Irish - you must vote again until you say what we want. That's not democracy.
In my opinion, the better way to deal with this is not - not voting - but voting against it. That's democracy.
am.ma, from Lisbon.
The Shape: Come on, be creative... Enda Kenny with a big turnip stuck up his hole with a speech bubble saying: "sign me contract!" or something
Jimmy: Exactly why wasting money on token referenda should have been avoided.
One Man: No...
am.ma: No...
All hail Tony Blair...
Big businesses are coming now. Isn't what everybody wants: more money? Thank you guys for voting yes.

Big businesses? Really? Bring it on! Ireland could do with a few big businesses right about now!
You were dead right.
Irish people are selfish cunts. If you promise them their two pieces of silver; they'll lick your feet.
Great post, and a great point. That said, I can still convince myself that we still live in a democracy by dismissing the initial 'No' result as a product of misinformation from lying shitheads taking advantage of credulous people with tales of apocalypse that appealed to their emotions.
My reflection from the result the first time around tidily lines up the factors that motivated the 'no' voters in my life.
"It’s a shame that the treaty wasn’t ratified, so we could retrospectively laugh at the prophecies of the new Ireland, in which all the men have been drafted to the European Army and sent to battle the US, all businesses have been taxed out of existence, and the footpaths can’t be seen for all the aborted foetuses that litter the streetscapes."
Mr. Sully: I remember enjoying reading your post, although I can't believe it was over a year ago. Last time I attempt dancing the Time-Warp again...
Now that we have voted yes I plan to set up an abortion clinic next to my local TESCO; I hope to beat the recession with it. No one can stop me as everyone will be conscripted into Eurasian army and will be too busy invading Norway to force them to be part of the EU so that we can steal their oil.
