The Republic of Ireland's referendum on the Lisbon Treaty is not so much a fight between the Yes and No camps, but a battle between fear and anger.
In Ireland, politics is a national pastime. The treaty has divided politicians, workers and even families; in some cases husbands and wives.
Hanging over the whole debate is the fact that the country is in economic turmoil.
The big fear is that the situation will become even worse.
Huge anger is directed at the politicians and bankers who failed to thwart the economic meltdown.
