 The treaty's lack of clarity meant that interpretations could not be confidently stated to be true or false.Consequently, issues such as
abortion,

tax,
euthanasia,
the veto,
EU directives,
qualified majority voting,
Ireland's commissioner,
detention of three-year-olds,
the death penalty,
Euroarmy conscription,
gay marriage,
immigration,
nuclear energy, workers' rights, sovereignty,
and neutrality
were raised, some of which were spurious or actually dealt with by the Treaty of Nice.The "No" faction could fight on whichever terrain they wished and could give positive reasons for rejecting the treaty, such as the possibility of renegotiation.
