Re: Remember the vote!
In fairness, referenda work differently in other countries, sometimes there's analysis up front and often the specifics of the legislation to be enacted and the outcome of a vote either way is spelled out on the ballot paper. There may even be a Referenda Commision to ensure there's no false claims made by either side or undue media influence by a government broadcaster or political canvassers. As for elections, most countries wind up with a coalition that's built on compromise positions.
