But isn't that what democracy is?
Good point.Referenda do not have a mechanism to protect the individual from the tyranny of the majority.
So does this mean that if FG were in government (or any other party for that matter) that you would vote Yes? Given the fact that all major parties (FG, Labour, PD's) are in favour of Lisbon.

My old driving instructor Joe Lawlor once told me he always votes for the little guys because they don't gain in any way from a No result, they do what they do because they care,
Lisbon retains 96% of the EU Constitution, and makes it very clear that EU law will be superior to the Irish Constitution. This means your constitutional rights can be overruled.
A no vote will mean reruns until it is a yes vote.

Forgive me for being cynical, but I don't believe that Michael Lowry, Jackie Healy Rae or Caoimhghin O'Caolain are necessarily any better than anybody else simply because they're not members of the major parties.
True, but it might be reran with a better explanation of what we are actually voting on,
I will be voting no untill I understand what Lisbon is about.
That's boll*x. If you don't understand it don't vote. Alternatively trust your democracy whose main parties all urge you to vote Yes. I haven't a baldy clue what Lisbon is about but if Bertie, Brian, Enda, Eamon etc. say it is a disaster to vote No that's good enuff for me. And if Grisly Adams is asking me to vote No then I don't care what it is, I'm voting Yes.I will be voting no untill I understand what Lisbon is about.
That's boll*x. If you don't understand it don't vote.
