Exert political leverage by voting No to Lisbon

Regarding the IFA Farmers Protest in Athlone today, Farmers for No spokesman,

David Thompson last night said,

'Farmers have been treated so badly for years now, it is right that they protest against their lowering income and this useless anti-Farmer government.

'However, instead of leading farmers on a merry dance to waste their energy, if Padraig Walsh wishes to exert political leverage and get a better deal for farmers, he must use the chief weapon of political leverage by campaigning for a No vote to Lisbon.

The quickest way to bring down our incompetent taoiseach, Brian Cowen, is to vote No to Lisbon. Increasing numbers of FG and Labour voters will vote No to get rid of him; it's about time Padraig Walsh and all IFA leaders did the same. It's also time FF voters put their country first by voting No.'
