I'll just say it once more. Referenda are for big important decisions that seriously affect a nations future. The people who vote want to change the staus quo, anyone who doesn't vote is assumned to not want to change the status quo. That is the whole point. So what you said cannot be assumed, is exactly what is assumed. It is the whole point of putting 1 question to a referendum, iot cannot be left to politicians to ovte on because the one single question is too big and too important.
