> An illegal referendum that half the population either chose to or was forced to boycott does not have any legitimacy I see it differently. I see a government suppressing the will of the people, then using low turnout due to government intimidation as a way to delegitimize the vote. There wouldn't even be a vote if a massive amount of people didn't disagree with the direction that their government was forcing them in. If people can't separate peacefully, there will be many who try to do so violently.
