Irish Referendum

[mushroom25]

a very high turnout has been reported, and a landslide "yes" is being forecast in the urban areas. indeed some prominent "no" campaigners are ready to concede.

but would that necessarily guarantee an overall result in favour of gay marriage?

and, if the result isn't a "yes", will the government embark on its previously successful "neverendum" tactic until the electorate provides the right answer?

// You know that I likened,IMO, a civil gay union as meaningless as if my two dogs were getting married.//

even a retired cop should be able to understand a change in the law

it always involves something that yesterday was unlawful is now lawful today ( erm on the day of Royal Assent etc ) - and so it is not meaningless. It has meaning - that is it is lawful and previously was not

I am glad he has retired in fact

oh and this:

[ummmm]

Well I still say well done Ireland. I thought it would be a no vote. My daughter voted yes but her boyfriend voted no....no, because he's a Catholic!

I am so grateful to my parents and grand parents for their liberal thinking. One thing my grandad told me....everyone's money is worth the same.
