Think he's looking for a gig in a nice think-tank with a big budget?

Dunno - something part time that doesn't take him away from his ranch and the racecourses too much anyway.  I think he's just trying to live up to his straight talking shtick.  At one level you could say his remark is probably true, although it does rather ignore huge pro-constitution majorities in referenda in Spain and Luxembourg.  

I don't have opinion poll data for the other 25 members but I suspect the 95% against figure is typical McCreevy over-speak.  However what is remarkable is the timing.  He must have known that his remarks would become the rallying cry for the NO campaign in the same way as his remarks in the last campaign were.

Perhaps he should say whether he is personally pro- or anti-Lisbon - and if so why - not that he has huge political credibility in Ireland now anyway.
