[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7494704, member: 818"] That may be your reason for abstaining, but you can't extrapolate your personal opinion to all those who didn't vote, for whatever reason. I could equally say that some didn't bother to vote because they considered it wouldn't matter if No won, because people like you would ensure that the status quo was maintained. And your attitude ever since the No vote wouldn't exactly have disabused anyone of that opinion. Anyone who abstains from a vote cannot be co-opted onto either of the winning or losing sides. If you chose not to make your voice known your voice gets ignored, as simple as that. I call it as I see it. You are drawing on all the bureaucrats tricks of the trade to ensure a democratic vote gets ignored and the status quo continues. By implying that the No voters were outnumbered 3 to 1 (your deer analogy) you are not being truthful - No won by a factor of nearly 2 to 1. I have no doubt that as we speak people just like you with exactly the same attitudes are discussing how they can bypass this vote and keep the gravy train rolling. And I for one will call out such undemocratic and self serving behaviour when I see it. [/QUOTE]
