The Centre for Sociological Studies is one of those institutes of influence in the democratic systems which we have evolved in the European tradition since mostly embracing peace and putting aside our most ancient animosities to each other. It does opinion polls. In any society where the percentage of abstentionist votes is as pivotal to the security of centre parties who rule by little more wit than chasing economic indicators in the globalised free market post thatcher/reagan neo-liberal U$ project, Opinion Polls Count. Polling opinion pays. 1,594 completed interviews between 29/4/05 and 11/5/05. read full story / add a comment

The best television and newspaper ratings go to light entertainment. Looking at the news, it’s easy to understand why. It’s nicer to feel happy, albeit brain-dead, than depressed and powerless; though the two are not mutually exclusive. Most of us take for granted the whole concept of ‘news’, so much so that the question ‘what is news?’ almost seems ridiculous. Yet, when we reflect honestly on the unaccountable agenda-setting power of news editors over everyday conversations in parks, pubs, the canteen etc., we can only conclude that news has a tremendous influence over the thought of the public, and the question becomes more obvious, as does its variant; ‘who decides what’s news?’ News editors are deciding what we should think is important, and in doing so, defining each of our situations for us, as well as the situation of the World around us. read full story / add a comment

I was watching a news article on RTE 30th May 2005 about drunken street violence in Dublin. It rekindled a question that has always been in my mind, "what about an alternative to alcohol". It is clear that Irish citizens desire some kind of recreational substance, the most socially accebtable being alcohol. read full story / add a comment

As we were told, in no uncertain terms by the yes campaign, the rejection of the Constitution, would mean a rejection of not only the lengthy document of V.Giscard d'Estaing, but also of the treaties and accords incorporated therein- Nice, Maastricht, Shengen, Versailles, Lisbon and Rome. In it is thus not surprising that throughout France this morning, in between burning the 12 starred flag, shoppers have been attempting to pay for their bagettes in francs. Meanwhile the Pope has called on Kathurliks to abstain from €U referenda. read full story / add a comment

Everyone in the house is getting ready to go out and vote. Polling stations in our area (Bagneux, one of the last two Communist towns left in Paris's former "red belt" suburbs) are closing at 9 or so. Nina and I (we're engaged - did I say?) are then off for a non-party with some friends. I can't vote here, but I've been following some of what others have been saying here, and would like to share a few observations with you. read full story / add a comment
