There is very little about these referendums but I find all I need to do is look at the people who are against it to know that I am for it.

That's just like voting green or orange in the North just to stick it to the other side.

No it's not like that at all. Michael McDowell for example is someone I've never agreed with a single thing he's said. Same for gript media. If they say No, I'm 99% it should be yes.

That doesn't work in the case of gaslighting. Sounds like if you have been born over the border you would have voted for Brexit

Did you actually read or listen to McDowell's arguments?
I rarely agree with him either, but he made a very strong case.
I didn't even bother voting (for the first time since I could vote I think), but I would have voted No, No.

That's a very uninformed way of looking at things. Screams of "I can't be bothered to do my homework on it or try to understand what it's about". It's wilful ignorance like this that led to Brexit and Trump.

This is the opposite of  Brexit, which was people voting for change without a clue what it was. This is people voting to keep things the same because those who advocate change have not explained it properly

If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Qukte the opposite. Brexit was people voting for change without a clue what it was. This is people voting to keep things the same because those who advocate change have not explained it properly

The only wilful ignorance is your comment.

Think you've misread what I'm saying. He said he is voting for the change (yes/yes) because of who's against it, not me! I'm agreeing with you.

Why the need for referendums, can surely be legislated for in the Dail.

The referendums offered nothing to women.
Durable relationships and the law . Tsk tsk

Dail can't change the constitution, need a referendum.
