Referendum on the purchasing of sex.....

[Spanky Panky]

The government of Ireland will hold referendums on 22 May 2015 on two proposed amendments to the Constitution of Ireland. The amendments, which were among those recommended by the Constitutional Convention, would reduce the age of candidacy for the President of Ireland from 35 to 21, and permit same-sex marriage.

Imagine they included a third referendum worded: "Should it be illegal for a man/woman to purchase sex... Yes/No.

How do you think that referendum would fair?

It would be defeated by a 75-85% margin imo. The only factor that might help would be a large turnout of liberal voters voting in favour of marriage equality. On any typical election day it might be as high as 90%.

I'm pretty sure that survey was commissioned by Ruhama/TORL so I wouldn't trust it. It might come from joe.ie or whatever but I read somewhere that TORL were behind it. The figures for people against sex buyers would still be pretty high among the public but not as high as the results of that survey I'd say.
