Referendum!

[springbrigid]

Anyone inclined to give an opinion? I am leaning towards a yes/no vote, the yes to remove what I see as sexist language in the constitution, the no because the government are so appalling in terms of providing services and rights to disabled citizens and I feel the clause is paternalistic and pushes care on families yet again

There are usually informal ones floating around though, I haven't even seen a how did you vote poll.

I don't think the govt will want the exit polls released if the No side are clearly ahead..

Would make for very bad headlines in the morning...

They will need time to figure out how to spin it so the "far right" are the scapegoats for their inevitable, humiliating defeat!

(Probably a bit over confident, wishful thinking on my part 🙈)

It's eerily silent isn't it.

Just saw Gavan Reilly's post on twitter, apparently there aren't going to be any exit polls but then someone in his comments says IPSOS was taking one in Tralee and someone else says IPSOS polled them in Dungarvan

Plastic Sheeting is saying that people might be surprised by the turnout after a strong few hours.

Plastic Sheeting 👏😂

Just listening to news and the numbers are a bit more in the normal range now. The islands are very low, what else do they have to be doing 😂

That's what I was thinking @DanielGault

You never know, they could ba at anything.

We'll, not voting anyway it seems!

Picking up!

I went over around 7pm didn't look to be a lot of names ticked off the list

The poor polling staff on the islands must be bored out of their minds after a 14 hour day of doing nothing!

I wonder if they're allowed their phones? Probably not? It'd be torture then alright.

They were allowed phones in my local. Well I don't know if they were allowed but they were using them!

Off topic, but kielty's late late is so embarrassing. What a pity.

Maybe they are allowed then so. Long day otherwise as you say.

A friend forwarded me this link to a short survey poll if anyone's interested

Well,

That's that.

With that turn out, we will know by lunch time

Where are the exit polls? This is slightly worrying..

yeah me neither

Exit polls in recent years have fairly honest.

Regardless of the result tomorrow
, I think the government were worried today of exit polls during the which galvanise no voters who have no interest except a protest vote.

I am not saying whether this is right or wrong merely what I think

What I thought all along. Mary Lou today couldn't even bring herself to beg for the yes/yes.. Sinn Féins silence speaks volumes.

Desperately trying to distance themselves from the Yes campaign, not one Sinn Féiner appeared on a live debate.

If they had endorsed No their ratings would have rose again.
Aontú are the only credible opposition.

Apparently the only opinion poll was commissioned by the Referendum Commission for "research" so presumably won't be available to the public any time soon. Apparently none of the papers or tv commissioned an exit poll, so we'll have to wait for the count. Seems odd to me that none of the media organisations were bothered enough

There was always exit polls? It seems odd. I follow Gavin Reilly & I saw he tweeted a few mins ago that he's feeling less optimistic for the No vote.. I wonder what led him to feel like that as he was fierce optimistic a few hours ago..
