Are you sure the same people who voted for that constitution are the ones doing the protesting ? I'm not sure about Spain, but I know for a fact that I didn't vote for the constitution of my country, in fact it was written about 160 years before I was even born.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoFrom what I recall, the thing making this referendum illegal something from the 1970s.... Not sure if that changes your opinion and it also doesn't answer the question of why the national government is bothering anyway
- mcguire 9y agoAre you arguing that you are not bound by any laws enacted before you could vote?
- Aaargh20318 9y agoNo, I'm arguing that I should have a choice wether to be a member of a society and as a result get all the benefits thereof and be subject to that society's laws, or not. It's a package deal. I either join the club, benefit from being a member, and have to play by the clubs rules or I don't.
