Don't make the mistake of reading this referendum as a democratic statement of popular opinion.
Don't make the mistake of reading any referendum as such, especially one on such a messy issue.
No long-serving Western government will have their way this summer. Economic recession, ever-increasing oil and food prices, all contribute to bad feeling in voters' brains.
I'm actually disgusted, hearing about people who voted No because they didn't feel well-informed, or didn't understand the issue. That's a disgrace, and one of the many reasons I've been against tyhe idea of a referendum from the beginning.
