gemfyreA lot of the "No" voters complain, "We've voted on this THREE times before!! Isn't it obvious we don't want it?"
Now, this I can understand if the last 3 referendums had been over the past 3 years or something. Heck, I was sure I had voted on the issue previously myself (and I was sure I voted no - whereas I'll be voting yes this time). But obviously I have never had the opportunity to vote on this issue before.
Apparently the last referendum on the subject was in 1992. That's SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO!!
There are hundreds or thousands of new elligible voters now, and I'm sure their opinions differ to everyones 17 years ago. So I think it's completely reasonable we have another vote now. Quit yer whining!! Just vote "No" and get it over with and the proof will be in the pudding as they say.
And I have no issues with the issue coming up again in another 10 years or so. The population does not remain the same.
