Am I going to be €20 up?



if turnout is high id expect a margin of around 57-60%, in favor of real. cant see it being higher. think you're down 20 bob.

I've been surprised by the amount of people I know under 35 that have said they're voting no. I think you'll be up 20 quid.

It can be a lonely, dark experience which will be some of the saddest days of a life, and for a multitude of potential reasons. But at least, if you can remove the stigma, the class factor, and the hypocrisy from the equation, you have done something right.
Yeah a lot of what I've seen is equating this to marriage referendum, where there were no losers really. This is a bit different, there's difficult outcomes regardless of the result.

Voting should be the minimum you expect of people when given the right, regardless of the matter.

I'm not so sure about that, but that's another debate.
I also find the idea of being 'proud of the Irish people' for voting on this to be utterly bizarre.

I really hope the Yes vote comes in and we show, as a nation that we fully trust the women of Ireland and stand behind or beside them in any horrific and life changing decisions they need to make!
 
2018 and we're voting to allow women to do what they want with their own bodies, it's a shame it's taken so long.

I would like the option of moving home someday, a no vote would rule that out. I couldn't live in a country that told the person I love what they can and can't do in the most extreme of cases.
It is also disgusting to see how vile and hate filled the 'No' campaign has been. It is disgusting that people like Ronan Mullen are paid public representatives, if not properly elected ones,( which shows yet another flaw in the land I love) can be so astonishingly out of touch with reality. He makes Rees-Mogg look like Boy George. Not to mention the fact that the cruellest, meanest organisation in the history of the Irish state, the Roman Catholic Church, is still given a platform to sell its product of lies and hate when it should long ago have been kicked to the perimeter of Irish society.
That isn't to say the 'Yes' side have been much better, often being dragged down to the side of the Helen Lovejoy pitchfork brigade on the other side instead of dealing with fact and reason instead of trying to pitch flag on the moral high ground.
 
The whole thing has been an unmitigated disaster and an embarrassment. Those of us living abroad have had to try and defend our nation as we look like a moral backwater in places that we should be laughing at ourselves for their own anachronisms.
Please, please vote 'Yes' so we can move away from this sh*tshoe and consign it to a footnote in history.
