How to Cheat the Lisbon Vote

How to cheat the Lisbon Vote? Tell the council that you've changed address. I rang them, emailed them and sent in a form stamped by the Gardaí. I thought I'd done more than what was required to keep things legal. Yet, just like last time, they ignored me. As a result, I can vote twice on Friday.

Perhaps they really think my opinion matters. Perhaps I'm the kind of guy they'd like to see over-represented. Trouble is, even if that were the case, they'd have picked the wrong chump. I'm Lisbon'd out, and I still don't know how to vote. The more I research, the less informed I feel. Opinions polarise like forks in the road. On the one hand I don't want to support the 'Get-Of-Our-Country-You-Smelly-Gypsies' Sinn Fein propaganda. I may not know what I'm talking about most of the time, but I can smell a pile of bullshit if you stick it in my face.  On the other hand, whenever I ask a Yes-Man for feedback, all I get is 'jobs.... free love... and... jobs..."  If it's so fucking important, why can't you explain in it less than a hundred pages?

4.5 million people in Ireland are deciding the fate of hundreds of millions of Europeans.  Is it right to vote yes for something you don't understand?  Tick.  Tock.
