Re-Definition of the word "Marriage" referendum

1

I expect that this referendum will be defeated.

Is anyone on this site considering voting in favour of the referendum?

Whatever about the definition of marriage, i hope they spell it better than it is in the thread title

Good man

4

I will be voting yes.

Mainly because the Catholic Church and those horrible Catholic groups are saying to vote no.

Plus I think it’s also the correct thing to do.

5

I’ll be voting no, like any rational person.

6

It’s none of my business, I shall be abstaining.

RTE seem to be really pushing the ‘yes’ side. They are continually quoting some obscure poll and suggest that 76% of people are in favour.

I would love to know who was queried for this poll :smiley:

tbf there wouldn’t be too many going to tell a pollster they are voting no on such a subject. And all the polls before the Seanad referendum suggested it’d sail through. This will be much closer than expected, would be amusing to see it fall just for the hysteria and tantrums from its cheerleaders afterwards, but it’ll eventually get through and cue the gloatfest.

Surely from now on they should have either 2 polls or no polls

11

I’ll be voting yes.

12

I will of course vote ‘yes’ because fuck the Catholic Church.

Also how does one vote for these things while working overseas.

Depends, are you on the Aran Islands?

14

If I were living in Ireland, I would vote yes.

This is why Ireland is renowned world wide as a bastion of western democracy- hard fought debates and well thought out votes, not ‘fuck the other fella’

Tough shit Paddy.

As I mentioned on another thread, PP are offering 5/1 for a No vote. Having listened to Breda O’Brien and Dominic Hannigan on Morning Ireland just now I would argue that this represents value. Fear is often what stops referendums passing and the No side have looked to immediately define the debate in terms of family and children. Even with (because of?) the upcoming family legislation, the Yes side seem woefully unprepared to date to counter this and seem pretty complacent; probably due to Dublin liberal media circle groupthink.

FWIW I will be voting yes.

I’ll be voting No, I’ve no wish to see cocksuckers foist themselves on the rest of society.
I’ve no problem with the gays in general just keep your depravity to yourselves please.
I don’t go around demanding to hold my wife’s hand in public so if they want normalisation, start acting fcuking normal.
