http://voteyestolisbon.blogspot.com/2008/06/another-look-at-figures.html
Vote Yes to Lisbon. Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Another look at the figures. Blog in haste, repent at leisure. Here's what I wanted to say yesterday. Put in a better. Based on the historic results, a 45% turnout next Thursday would make it difficult for the no side to win. If the result is a no, on that turnout or higher, it would represent a sea-change in Irish opinion on the EU, with a large number of people who have never voted no in a EU referendum before, doing so.

http://voteyestolisbon.blogspot.com/2008/05/why-treaty-wont-replace-irish.html
Vote Yes to Lisbon. Thursday, May 22, 2008. Why the Treaty won’t replace the Irish Constitution. The one commonality that the Irish Constitution and the EU treaties would have in common, if Lisbon is ratified, is in the area of fundamental rights. Yet, even the degree to which real conflict could be encountered here is limited if not non-existent. The reason for this can be seen in the Charter itself. Article 51 of which reads as follows:.
