The poster race is on. With posters going up around Ireland the campaign is going to ramp up.

Was down in Kerry at the weekend and saw some stats on posters for the "No" campaign that I couldn't quite believe. Was reading today that these stats are basically not true. This type of thing doesn't help anyone.

And many of those who voted for Brexit will end up worse off in the end - Which is what I was getting at. |

Irish referendum posters have a history of stretching credibility. In some cases they have relied on hyperbolised statements, which when the surface is scratched are totally irrelevant to the referendum itself.
It could be a very interesting study to look at historical posters and actually determine on a fact-check basis whether their contents is factually accurate, or even relevant to the referendum.

Do you have a link to that? I was thinking there is no way one in five pregnancies (or babies as they called it) England is aborted.

Pat Leahy had an interesting article in the IT about the fact that the Repeal Campaign are already starting behind the anti-repeal campaign.

If done right that is a book I would certainly buy, it would be fascinating.

A google search of Irish referendum posters is worth doing. The cringy slogans, the economic and social hyperbole, and the downright lies. Its amazing that anybody makes up their minds on these things based on sound factual reason.

Going by the stats on that thread then the claim is actually true and can be backed up, would not have guessed that

There should be no posters, posturing or campaigning of any kind for any vote at all. A booklet should be sent out with the views put forward, by both sides in the case of a referendum, by the local candidates in the case of election. It really is bizarre how this behaviour is somehow viewed as democratic.

I would love to keep Politicians and NGO's with an agenda out of the debate. I would much rather experts, along with the Referendum Commission's booklet debate these issues, which would avoid the muddying of the waters that happens when people with an emotional or political interest get involved. I feel what will make this a particularly dirty debate is the voices of those least qualified to speak on the issue, on both sides.

There should be a moratorium in the media from the day the election/referendum is called until the polls are closed. All relative information should be easily accessible and people should be allowed to make up their own mind.
