And self-determination is the cornerstone of international rights, up there in Article I of the Charter of the UN.
For me, 70 out of 135 elected representatives is a more democratic mandate than the referendum. Not a fan of referendums.

Art 1.2 talks of maintaining peace amongst the nation's through respect for "equal rights and self-determination of peoples". To me that puts self-determination below democratic process, reversing them would not respect equal rights. http://www.un.org/en/sections/un-charter/chapter-i/index.html http://www.un.org/en/sections/un-charter/chapter-i/index.htm...
