The result does not match what people on the street found. Many canvassers for the No campaign found that nearly everyone they met were going to vote No. Others listened to their arguments and decided to vote No. <br />Suspicious things were seen at polling stations with regards to the ballot boxes yesterday and people who questioned or complained about these were threatened with arrest if they didn't remain silent (even by the gardai). The ballot boxes could easily have been tampered with after the polling stations closed.<br />The second referendum was illegal. It was the exact same treaty that was rejected previously. Vast amounts of money was spent on the yes campaign, much of it was from outside Ireland which is not allowed. There was an incredible bias everywhere towards a yes vote, even from those who should have been unbiased and even in coverage (eg referendum commission and media).Trad Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019375653409835364noreply@blogger.com
