The Lobby poll on the Irish referendum closed on Sunday, and you may (or may not be) pleased to know that our results were almost identical to that of the actual poll on the emerald isle.
For The Lobby poll, 66% voted yes to the Treaty, 31% no, and 3% would have spoilt their ballot paper.
In the official referendum, 67% said yes and 33% said no (presumably the other 1% spoilt their ballot paper – we cannot be sure).
Either way, if the Treaty needed any further bolstering it can look to our poll as representing an alternative voice of the people. Now what do you have to say about that Mr Klaus?

I must say I’m pretty surprised by the Lobby poll result. I would have imagined that given tthe readership of your blog, the result would have been much higher in favour of the yes… Have you analysed the location of the people who voted? Did they come from the EU bubble or did ou get a lot of people from Ireland? The Irish No side has put a lot of effort in screening the web to try and influence through blog commenting and so on.

67+33+1=100
Intriguing logic.

The Lobby
Ah yes, the mysterious 1%….
Apologies for this, the rest of the results are still valid. I’m just surprised it took two full days for anyone to notice!
