NO NO CAMPAIGNER MICHAEL McGRATH FORECASTS NO NO VICTORY!

by Gilliane Manning.

NO NO Campaigner Michael McGrath forecasts a very low poll, as low as 16% in places, and a defeat for both government proposals. He thinks the figure nationwide will be about 25%. In Kilkenny city he ended his own personal campaign last night in keeping with the tradition not to campaign on the day before polling – however we can publish his forecast from his experiences out there campaigning in Kilkenny.

“I canvassed my friends and neighbours around the doors where I found such apathy and indifference that I believe only one in six will bother to turn out and vote”. he summed up. They actually said they would vote for me in the locals but have no interest in these referendums tomorrow.

“The Panty Party, as I call women activists in the abortion and marriage equality referenda – they’re mostly climate change and Black Lives Matter activists too – were nowhere to be seen or heard. I suspect that secretly they would like to keep their special position in the constitution, as some of those I know tend to be narcissistic.

“If the rest of the country is anything like Kilkenny city the NO NO will win these two referenda.I believe that Senator Michael McDowell is the catalyst for the NO NO vote. And now another former justice minister, Alan Shatter, has popped up to give even more legal expert support to McDowell’s dire predictions of the chaos yes votes would bring. They are influencing the intellectual vote in Dublin, even gaining supporters for NO NO in the MSM media. Their masterful interpretations cannot easily be dismissed as Justice Minister Helen McEntee found to her chagrin up against McDowell on the TONIGHT TV show last night, while the education minister was demolished by AONTU leader Peadar Toibin on the same programme.

Varadkar is now stupidly reduced to arguing dire consequences for Ireland internationally if the special position of Irish Mothers is not thrown out by a yes vote in Proposition 1 or his “Durable Relationships” are voted down by the people in his Proposition 2 – what fools he must take the irish electorate for!

The world has no idea of, and less interest in, whatever Ireland votes to do tomorrow, no matter how foolishly the Taoiseach blusters.
