    It still means 1 in 4 people you see on the street is dangerously misinformed. Or, just as bad, simply does not know what it would actually mean, but still decided to vote on the topic.

      Keep in mind this was a non binding vote to have a binding vote on the issue later on. According to the polls the number of people who said they’d vote yes to hold the binding but would vote no in the actual vote if it was held was quite large. Then there’s the fact that we can be certain almost all the seperatists voted since this realistically is the only chance to get what they want and consider that only a third of eligible voters voted. Them only getting 25% under those conditions means their actual support is vanishingly small.

        Yeah, I can see the logic of voting yes in “maybe if we have an actual vote the separatists will actually shut up”

      This is why it’s up to everyone to vote. If you refrain from voting, thinking that your outcome is guaranteed, you’re essentially letting an opposing vote count for two.

      1 in 4 women are sexually abused as a child, usually by a close family member. Coincidence? I dont think so
