I just got back from Ireland and the entire city of Dublin was just covered with signs about the treaty. Every single pole and post had at least one (if not 4-5) signs on it urging people to vote yes! or vote no! I looked up some of the websites when I got back--interesting stuff. Our tour guide in Dublin said even the politicians admitted to not reading the whole treaty. He said no one really understood what was going on. As I read all the news coming out in the wake of the rejection, I keep remembering what he said when we asked him how he would vote. He said he was going to vote yes because they would just make them vote again later until they got the result they wanted--might as well get it over with.
