It won't be postponed and they'll probably get a Yes vote on it as well.
IrelandNorth, Vote NO again, again from what? What other European proposal had a NO vote?
Libertas are more proposing a conditional Yes rather than a definitive No. The whole Irish political establishment is characteristically coercing and cajoling the electorate to vote Yes - again, including a nominally oppositional Fianna Fail. Different government - same ideologies! Minister for Enterprise Richard Bruton is threatening a re-run if the vote is negative - because he needs access to EU funds. Why have a referendum if there is no choice. Why play the parliamentary democracy game. Why not be up front and admit that plutocracy trumps democracy every time. The current Irish Government, like its predecessor does not represent Ireland's interests in Europe. It represents Europe's interests in Ireland, whilst being paid by overburdened Irish taxpayers for the disservice. How economically masochistic is that? And with a petit-bourgeois press and media at its side, it may well sleep walk a politically unconscious majority of the Irish electorate into voting for this pig-in-a-poke treaty. Vote NO - again! And save Ireland from subsumption!
The Euro is still worth more than the dollar and has been outpacing the dollar for several years!
