‘Frustrated’ youth still favour treaty

YOUNG people have voted slightly in favour of passing the Lisbon Treaty in anonline poll, but are frustrated with the political process and the debate ahead of tomorrow’s referendum.

The findings emerged from a SpunOut.ie national youth charity poll in which 1,350 people had voted up to Tuesday afternoon.

While 3.33% of voters indicated they had not decided what way they will vote, and 4.4% said they don’t understand the issues, among the remainder in the poll carried out through social networking website Facebook, 50.7% said they would vote Yes and 41.6% said they would vote No.
