(0744) Morning all … becoming light out there, second sleep completed, rainy and bleah.
7. On DAD’s 6b
The last time a western country of over 25m ran a national referendum, excluding GEs, was Australia, where the communist govt tried to put The Voice as the topic. The official line was that the aborigines needed a special “Voice” in parlmt to “advise” govt on aboriginal-acceptable policy … in other words, stealing from Australians and giving it all, free to minorities, under govt control of course.
What the govt had not counted on was that aboriginals themselves were not for it on the whole, arguing that they already had the rights granted in the 1969 referendum. The Labor govt was apoplectic, the referendum was roundly defeated. In that case, the minority was largely wishing to integrate anyway … not as in Britain and America, where it wants to take over the country and run it in its own image. France too.
The danger is in the question form, also the practices used … reputable or BBC/C4 like? Nothing new:

a) Austria: Right-wing FPÖ secures historic victory, but a ‘coalition of losers’ could still form against it.
b) French revolution? French interior minister shifts Right and wants ‘referendum on migration’ …
c) For several years, teachers have witnessed a rejection of scientific, historical and commonly accepted concepts: infinity in mathematics, the theory of evolution, secularism, gender equality, the human body… allegedly in contradiction with the values of I*l*m.
d) The Milliband brothers are very close.
