How they see us….
The excellent UK Polling Report has covered further details of the RedC poll on Irish attitudes to the Euro and Sterling – as pointed out by Neville here Tory MP Mark Reckless (grandson of a former Donegal FF TD) commissioned a question on whether we’d like to ditch the Euro and join Blighty in embracing the pound sterling. Nearly two thirds say NO, which is reported by him as over one third say yes (bless!), but he finds interesting that 43% of the SF vote would support such a move. Given that sample is approximately 108 SF supporters, the margin of error makes this a rather pointless statistic.
Still, interesting all the same. And nice to see us being plugged in the comments section of the UKPR….
Irish Polling Report 
If the poll had asked who approved of leaving the Euro without joining the Sterling earlier the support would have been exponentially greater. Some of us don’t serve King or Kaiser – but Ireland – you know.

Hi FT – welcome to the dark side! Not sure what you mean by “exponentially” greater…. I presume “much”? 😉
I suspect not, most ppl I know aren’t looking to leave the euro, tbh, although there are fears that we’ll be removed against our will if it all goes t!ts up….
