Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Suspicion on this one - why are Citigroup doing the opinion poll? Normally it's the media that commissions these sort of things?
Is someone getting worried that the Irish people won't fall into line?
Yes, the ruling elite in our country are very much worried that Nice two will fail, it would help if some degree of unity of the anti Nice organisations was achieved, excluding Barrett and co. of course.
"It found that 29% intended to vote Yes, 19%...
Eighteen per cent of men but just 4% of women were in favour of the Treaty"
Which makes for a missing 18%, or are 18% of people going to vote yes despite not being in favour of the Treaty?
a yes to nice group has been founded by "employees" of ifsc companies.
they are having a meeting in the ifsc on thursday; which will be addressed by mary harney.
don't have time or venue yet.
believe good pie is served in ifsc cafes.
Chekov's on the ball here...
If the population is divided 50/50 between males and females, then if 18% of men (=9% of total population) and 4% of women (=2% of population) are going to vote yes, then only 11% of population are going to vote yes.
Even if the population was 99% male, that'd still be only 18% who would be voting yes according to this report.
The only way this could work is if some large precentage (>18%) of the population do not consider themselves male or female and they all want to vote yes!
If 26% of the group most in favour of the Nice Treaty (the over 65's) are going to vote yes, how can the average percentage of people who are going to vote yes be 29%?
