As a foreigner on holidays in your country, but living in Scandinavia, I know the No side of the debate in Nice is not being heard outside Ireland.
This would show that the No debate is progressive and not driven by racists and isolationists, most people even those somewhat to the left elsewhere in Europe are unaware of this. Indy media exists in many countries now but there is no information on the Irish debate on Nice on the Scandinavian ones at least. You may find people more sympathetic that you expect if they are informed.

indymedia everything.
Yes its not just northern Europeans who are unaware of the no issues, Southern EUROPEANS are also oblivious to them, of course the mainstream media highlights the negative issues such as zenophobia etc rather that the progressive ones. Maybe the NO side should be a little more conscious of international opinion all the same.

locally means where you live
or where your language is spoken.
