I don't know yet myself...

Submitted by Eoin on Tue, 20/05/2008 - 10:30.

I haven't voted in this poll yet, because I'm not sure what my vote will be.

My gut is telling me 'no', mainly because the tactics (on both sides mind you) seem to all be of the scare variety "Vote Yes for the Economy" i.e. if you vote no the economy is screwed, that sort of thing. That is not how I will be convinced to vote yes. The fact that the 'no' campaign is taking a similar tack, while it bothers me, I'd rather vote no now, find out more in a real information campaign and be given the chance to change my mind, rather than a mindless 'Yes' because some poster tries to scare me into it. Undoing a law is hard, as evidenced by this very referendum!

The second reason I'm thinking I'll vote no is that I'm finding it difficult to get good information on the treaty. Yes, I could download the treaty and reference all the changes it makes, quite frankly I don't have that sort of time. There are a fair few websites out there that are supposed to be neutral and give fair information, they appear to me to lean one way or the other though. I spend a lot of time on the internet, I can find most things on here, but a simple short neutral description of the Lisbon Treaty is still eluding me.
