Well can't we argue that the referendum was a flawed idea to begin with? As commented above, it's like asking the voting public "Do you want lower taxes, yes or no?" That depends on an awful lot! How much lower? How is the decrease in revenue going to be handled? Will there be cuts? If so to what? Will there be a debt increase? Etc... Do we want political decisions of this level of importance and complexity to be made through a process of vague referendums? Seems like madness to me.
